My poor wife is sick again, it seems like she has no resistance to anything lately. Once again i offered to go to the store for anything she would need to help her get through the illness. But once again she said no, that she had everything she needed. I offer, but she rarely will accept my help in any way.She knows i am here to help, she obviously is not ready to let me try. So i never push it, just offer.Over the last few months she seems to catch any bug that is around.

Craig,

Doing the same thing everytime gets the same results, right?


Either stop offering...which by the way if she is THAT sick all the time, would be pushing it.

Or just get her stuff without asking. : )

If you were sick what would you want?

Jack, if i was sick i would appreciate the offer, and the follow through, of acutally getting what ever it was I needed. But not knowing upfront what her ailment actually was, would be hard to get her the stuff beforehand.Your right about the same results, but I feel bad for her.I would like to help, but your right , if she does not want my help,I just need to accept that.

Just a side note on my wife. She has missed more time from work in the last 3 months, than in the last 3 or 4 years.

Some items are common to being sick.

How about making some homemade soup, or bringing dinner so she has one less thing to worry about when she's not feeling well?

Point taken , the soup is a good idea.

I'm just saying as a woman, it would be appreciated. If not immediately, then it would be in my mind as something that was very thoughtful.

Darboyd5,

Sometimes it is tough because she has been pretty offish towards me for sometime. But you are right it would be thoughtful. Do it like it was a normal thing, regardless of the current situation . Do it as a friend, i can do that.
