Is your partner a hypocondriac and how do you deal with this?

My husband takes a lot of time off work and loses a lot of pay because he has a list of illnesses he seems rotate. I am sure most are genuine but he thinks he can cure himself instead of going to the doctor resulting in more days off work than necessary. This puts a lot of strain on the finances. Talking to him about the situation doesn't seem to have any effect.

    My husband is not, but he's wierd about germs. Last night after we had sex he went on the computer and I was beside him and took a drink of his soda and he freaked out. I told him, that it doesn't make any sense, I just had my tongue in his mouth and he's worried about getting my germs from drinking his soda?

    Just tell your husbadn how silly he is being.

    he's not ill, he's lazy. if he was ill he'd see the doctor, he daren't see the doctor because he's not ill and the doctor would know this... and then so would you and his game would be over. it's a control thing, you're not sure whether he is ill or isn't, you worry about money because he's not bringing any in, the more you talk the less he listens. he's got you so confused you don't know your a*se from your elbow, yet he seems relaxed doesn't he?, lying in bed, sleeping, watching tv, asking for soup, a newspaper, tv remote.etc. if this seems familiar you must not play this game any longer. i don't think you'll stop him from playing it as he's got too much to lose, but if nothing else, tell him you know what he's up to. don't let him convince you you're wrong because you're not, he's tricking you into feeling sorry for him so he can do as little as possible with no fuss from you. good luck
