Lost, my H always has illnesses too. Complains about not feeling well all the time and it's a number of things wrong. Just out of curiosity, when you or one of the kids was not feeling well, did your H ever say he was feeling worse? Like it was a competition or something who felt the worst? Mine did, but would not seek medical attention.
It's the ow's problem now to listen to all that, although he will still complain to me if I have to call him with a illness that one of the kids has.
