Is it because they think their wife is overreacting to being sick? Or it is that know they have take care of everything? Is it both?

Don't you know you aren't ALLOWED to be sick? That might put your husband out. LOL I think it is because men aren't very nurturing and they don't want to see you feeling bad but they don't know how to make you feel better. And, having to pick up your slack is annoying to them. Let's face it, our husbands would be lost without us.

Well, I know a friend who's wife is always sick, I 'm telling you she
somehow makes herself sick, so she can her husband's attention.
She's constantly calling him all the time at work 7 to 10 times at work in one day, not to mention even when he's taking a break!.
The people that I work with are sick of his wife. She gets sick ALL
the time. If it's either her ulcers, tummy ache, she vomits, she has a minor cold, etc. you get the point. Sometimes, she manipulates her husband to call in sick and demands 100% attention, and whine whine whine ALL the time!!!
Won't you be upset if you had a wife like that?
I don't know about you...but I would divorce a woman like that.

most husbands are not good at caring for others be a sick wife or a sick child or sick parents, they just plain do not have the same attitudes of the wives and when the wife is sick they ask how they are but as to the caring for the wife part not much good at it

Nah, it isn't the idea of them overeacting when they are sick or even the idea that they have to take care of everything because often times guys still don't do that.
My father has always gotten upset when my mother gets sick and the reason why is because it throws things off for him. He is not a sick person and she gets sick atleast six times a winter. He gets mad at this world. He gets mad because its expensive fo medicine and the doctors. He gets mad because she is miserable. He gets mad because his dinner doesn't taste good because she doesn't feel like making good dinner. He gets mad because he is kind of an a ss hole LOL about it all.

In thirty-five years of marriage, I have not had this problem with my husband, although I have seen it in other marriages. The first time my husband had to take on my responsibilities because I was away, I came home to, "WOW! I did not realize what it took to run the house!"
In SOME marriages, a wife is expected to clean house, fix dinner, AND get the children to were they are supposed to be (day care, school, soccer, dance, etc). When a wife becomes ill, these responsibilities fall on the other half.
As my mom used to say,"Wives are not allowed to get sick."

It's not that they get mad it's just that they don't know how to take care of someone that is sick. It has always been the woman's job to take care of the sick. They just feel helpless because they don't know what to do.

If the man gets mad because the chores fall on him then that is because he is selfish and insensitive. However, sometimes whem men are worried it seems like they are ''mad'' because they get frustrated when they worry.
I never heard of anyone getting mad at their wives for being sick but at the situation mostly, or from being worried.

Because we men are just a bunch of mean, selfish, cruel, and unmerciful creatures. Oh yeah, we are. And we love being that way, too. Not just because it hurts you women, oh no. That's one reason, but that's not the only reason. We also just like being that way.
You know, the other night, my buddy John was mad at his wife for not cooking his favorite meal. And that was reasonable of him; after all, it's her wifely duty to serve him. So you know what we did? I snuck up behind her while she was washing dishes and clamed a pillowcase down on her head. While she was struggling, I pulled her out into the middle of the kitchen and held her while John beat her with the bad-tasting leg-of-lamb she cooked. When she was finally unconscious, we cut her up and threw her remains out in the yard for the freaking birds and animals to feed on. And there wasn't anything wrong with it, either; it was just pure guy stuff. Just the way we are.
Yeah, we men are just sadistic.
And in case people haven't figured it out yet, this response is pure sarcasm.
(you know, maybe some of you should stop judging all based on the actions of your husband...think that would be a good idea? Or do you just like to complain?)

Most husbands don't. The ones who do don't deserve to have a wife.

Because most husbands are titty babies and they want to be taken care of - they don't want to have to be the ones taking care of someone else (I mean - why else did they marry)?
My husband is the same way. It really, really sucks. It used to hurt my feelings, but now it just makes me mad at him.
