Yes, ironically he came down with a 24 hour flu yesterday morning...and I was taking care of him
When he is sick or in pain...all I want to do is take care of him and help him feel better. Taking care of him yesterday actually helped me distract myself from my depression for a bit. I LIKE taking care of my husband...
Is it a man/ woman thing? Women ARE raised to be more nurturing (motherly), and not many men get the same education, or are even expected to ever "mother" anyone...not even themselves.
But, I am his wife, NOT his mother, and I always thought spouses support and take care of each other? Or is that just an idealized myth about marriage?
