Dh is constantly ill. Quite often his 'illnesses' are life threatening at best.
Since I have been with him he has had brain tumours, liver disease, kidney failure, liver cancer, lung cancer, stumache cancer and bowel cancer. As well as various other sniffles serious flu's and infections.
All of which he has fully recovered from without medical intervention or even formal diagnoses.
I used to just try and laugh it of but it is getting worse. In the last three weeks he has had an epiletic fit , he has suspected lung cancer , which he has actually been to the doctors about this time. He is awaiting the results of an x-ray and has adnitted that it may not be lung cancer after all but it is very serious.
This week he very, very, very, very bad flu. He is not sure if it is swine flu or not.
All of this means that I am being unreasonable expecting him to help out in the house, he is after all, seriously ill.
Also I think he may need couselling. He does genuinely believe that he has all these illnesses. He was sat crying last week about dying and leaving the dd's fatherless. I asked him to ask the doctor about counselling, when he went to see about his lung cancer but he just scowled at me.
