ZombieWife, I think we're married to the same guy. My husband's alcoholism started getting serious around the time our daughter was born, and I remember thinking, Oh hell no -- NOT FAIR. And, like you, I also now have no sympathy whatsoever when he's genuinely sick. Heck, I manage to drag myself to work when I have a cold, so really, shut up and deal. Sometimes I feel bad about not being very sympathetic anymore, but then I remember everything he's put me through, and I don't feel guilty about it.
Is it wrong that I literally laughed out loud at the thought of slamming on the brakes with a whiny, pain-in-the-rear detoxing husband in the passenger seat?
