aftermid 0 #1 November 7, 2005 I truly hate being sick. I avoid people that are sick and when I'm around people who have colds or the flu I keep my distance and wash my hands. This time of year I'll take Zinc, Airborne, and other herbal remedies at the hint of a cold. If I do get sick I stop anything, that can be stopped (work, school, etc..) and rest and relax as much as possible so that I can feel better ASAP. Probably a borderline hypochondriac. Here's the problem. When my girlfriend is sick I don't want to be around her too much. We don't live together and I certainly don't want to sleep in the same bed with her. She on the other hand doesn't mind when I'm sick and is nurturing and all that stuff. Does this ALONE make me an asshole or are other people the same way?

vt1977 0 #5 November 7, 2005 I'm exactly the same. Except I don't mind being around my SO when he's ill because we don't seem to catch colds from one another. I guess we must have complementary immune systems or something! Vicki Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrendelKhan 0 #6 November 7, 2005 It doesnt make you an asshole, it makes you a man. I mean seriously, a sick girlfriend is the perfect opportunity to hit the strip club. Only joking, what you ought to do is slug a whole bunch (i said bunch) of Ny-Quil, then you won't care about taking care of a sick girl. If she takes care of you, you owe it to her to put the hypochondriac tendencies aside for a few days. If you do get sick, then you get a few days off of work and probably all the sympathy sex you can handle when you get better. word.

lawrocket 3 #7 November 7, 2005 If that's your reaction she ain't such a "significant" other, is she? I don't care if my wife has explosive dysentery with open boils, I'm gonna be there to help her out. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
