Denial- You make yourself believe it is an allergy to your pet, hay-fever- just a temporary glitch. It adds drama to your daily conversation to discuss the possibilities.

Relationships on Female First

Take advantage- You realise that your partner will do anything for you so you take this to the max. Whether it's tablets, more tissues, reaching for the remote- they will do it for you because they love you.

Self-diagnose with Google- You will find that your symptoms are in line with something more serious than a head cold and convince yourself that you are much worse than you actually are.

Leave tissues everywhere- Balled up little mucus filled gifts for your loved one to pick up and bin for you because you lack the energy to clean up after yourself.

Drink- Turn to alcohol- because it kills the germs right? And worry your partner silly in the process. 

You stereotype your healing products- Everyone in the movies drinks orange juice and eats chicken noodle soup so you think you should do so too or you may never get better.

You try to guilt your partner into sex- Because it will make you feel better- sadly your partner can't say the same- snot is not sexy.

Your partner will call your bluff- You know from experience that your partner will offer you something they know you can't refuse to test whether you're starting to take the p**s with your demands. You need to be on the ball for this moment and not let them know you are getting better. 

Pass it on- Couples share EVERYTHING.
