Default Why Are Some Men So Selfish?

My husband and I are both sick. He works 3-4 days a week, I work 5 plus do everything for the kids and house. Because he is sick I keep getting asked to get him "this" or "that". It's driving me crazy because I know if I say something we will get into a big fight but at the same time I am sick too! Any advice?

My ex was like that and it just reached a point where I had to tell him no. I know the last thing you want when you're sick is to get into a fight, but you also need to take care of yourself so you can get better.

You could try saying something like, "I know you don't feel well, but neither do I and I'm feeling very overwhelmed right now." If that doesn't work, I would just say no.

Hope you feel better soon

I hope you feel better as well. I don't just think it is men; I think there are just some people who think the world revolve around them. When they don't feel well they tend to think the world revolves around them.

Act like you are more sick than he is and ask him to do this and to do that and to take care of you as well.
