My husband will get a cold or the flu and complain that he is sick, but never has any visible symptoms. I always think he’s just trying to get out of going into work or doing housework. He got sick last week and I didn’t believe him or have any sympathy for him. Well, I’ve now caught his cold - and damn it - I am so sick! I think I’ll have to take his word for it in the future when he says he’s sick.
