Exposing real, human vulnerabilities is a big step in any relationship and it comes in time.
Contrary to what you've heard, most men don't want to date their mothers. And, while we may want someone to take care of us while we're under the weather, we don't want you to see us vulnerable until we're ready for it. So, keep in mind that your guy may not be sick of you, he might be literally sick. With the cold or a flu.
Must you simply carry on? Or will plowing through take you from sick to sick and tired?
You don't necessarily buy into the theory that men are not nurturing, and that they act like little toddlers when they are sick but expect the exact opposite of their wives. He's a good man, and will do almost anything he's asked. But then, that's it. The asking part.
This cold and flu season may be full of secrets and exaggerations.
Cold and influenza season is a real problem for romance. Singles can just forget about getting any action, because mucus is gross and bright red noses are only adorable if you're full of booze and only then if you're the former president of Russia. But the going steady, engaged and married crowds are in a different boat. Evidently, some couples take advantage of cold and flu-like symptoms to get out of chores OR to gain attention and sympathy.
The HIV virus, which becomes AIDS, possibly dates back to 1900, which is 30 years earlier than researchers originally thought. The Los Angeles Times reports that University of Arizona researchers studied biopsy samples in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Scientists say the virus was first found in chimpanzees but they were unsure when it made the leap from monkeys to human. The first humans were diagnosed in 1981, but the oldest evidence of the disease in man dates back to 1959.
