"Being sick is the absolute worst. It absolutely stinks. But, for some reason, it seems like guys have a much harder time handling the common cold than everyone else. Seriously, what&amp;#39;s up with that?\nPinterestFacebook*Poor J. This is how I found him last Wednesday night when I came home from work.*I don&amp;#39;t know what it&amp;#39;s like with your guy, but J is bad at being sick. He moans, coughs straight out into the air (no covering his mouth), and totally takes advantage of the doctor telling him to stay home (not that I blame him there); basically, he acts like a kid trying to get some extra love. He&amp;#39;s the younger of two boys and his mom definitely took care of her baby (and still does!). So, when J&amp;#39;s sick now he still likes to be taken care of the way momma used to do it.\nAll last week J was sick with the flu and it&amp;#39;s the worst I&amp;#39;ve seen him feel during our three years together. I felt so bad that one night, instead of going to the Rangers game like I had planned, I headed home to Hoboken to bring J dinner and make sure he was OK. On my way to Panera, I got a lot of texts from him saying, &amp;quot;No, no, really I&amp;#39;m fine\u2026&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;m not even really hungry\u2026&amp;quot; but once I told him I was picking up chicken soup, J perked right up and goes, &amp;quot;Actually\u2026 can I get a turkey bacon bravo?&amp;quot; Ha! He was happy guy that night.\nAs funny or crazy or mopey as J gets while he&amp;#39;s sick, I secretly really love taking care of him. It&amp;#39;s the one time I know, without a doubt, that he needs me. Of course he always needs me in our relationship, but it&amp;#39;s a different kind of need. And it&amp;#39;s nice to be living together and to look after my guy and provide a little extra comfort when he&amp;#39;s feeling pretty lousy. That&amp;#39;s love, right?\nHow does your guy act when he&amp;#39;s sick? So far all of my girlfriends tell me that their boyfriends act just like J: total babies! Do you take care of your guy when he&amp;#39;s sick? Does he take care of you when you&amp;#39;re sick?\nPhoto: Thinkstock\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
