Who is tougher?

[efish1042]

Um... we both have relatively fragile health, so we both know how to suck it up and deal with it. Sure we complain, but we don't whine about it, unless its to make each other laugh. Its refreshing tho, because all the men in my family are big babies when they're sick.
As far as injuries go? Probably him. but I don't get injured a lot. I get bruises cuz I'm clumsy, but I cuss and forget about it. But I am such a ninny I go out of my way to avoid any serious cuts or scrapes. Being a guy, he is a little more into the adrenaline thing and so it doesn't really phase him if anything happens.
Emotionally? Hmm... that's a hard one. I think we balance each other out. We are each other's rocks. When I cry, he comforts me. When he is about to explode all his bottled up emotions, I am the one that soothes him. It works.

Oh he is WAY tougher than me. I make a big scene over stubbing my toe, and he stabs himself with my Wusthof knife and just puts a bandaid on and keeps cutting veggies. He also does all the yucky stuff- unclogging sinks, toilets, drains, killing gross animals and removing the carcasses. That man is good to me

He is most definitely tougher than me in every way.

He has a much higher pain threshold than I do... which is saying something because I have a high one also. He is more stoic when something bad happens in his life than I am, I prefer to talk about it until I've worked out how I feel about it and how I'm going to handle it. BUT, I've been through much harder things than he has in his life so I think overall, I'm stronger in that sense.

Me, in every way :P We joke that he's the woman and I'm the man in our relationship :P

[Lovely]

She is. OMG... I'm such a girl

Too true but don't get between her and her kids... I think she'd even kick my rear for that one I think I'm tougher in general and her tough comes out when she needs it most She just stores it!

I think he's tougher in general. Im tough too but i cry alot when things get too stressful whereas he would skip the crying part and just try and help me work out what needs to be done to sort it.

I think this is a funny thread.

I would also say that I am. He is physically stronger than me and such HOWEVER... my man is also a cry baby when he get sick and has been known to say "i am like a sick puppy and you should take care of me." my response " a puppy isn't as whiney" he also gets so thrown off but any size wrench in his plans and gives up so easily. Pushing on is not a strong suit of his.

Sooooo I would say me. But it could be because I am a woman and have the belief that anything my man can do i can do better!

I am the big baby. He thinks im quitter- I give up to easy. But I get frustrated really fast. So he is tougher I guess. but he knows ill talk straight when needed!!

[Deleted]

He's the tough one! He laughs of his own pain. If I slip and fall I complain, if he does, he says "this is how I walk!"; if I get sick, I complain, and if he does, he says "I'm not sick, my mind wants to make me believe so". :P

[lademoiselle]

I'm pretty darn tough... but I think he may have a slight edge on me

[n3rdkate]

Generally I think he's tougher. When it comes to being sick I think I'm tougher lol. He gets wicked whiney and sometimes unbearable when he's sick. Whereas I'll just push past it if I'm sick. Now that I'm thinking about it maybe we're both equally as tough lol

[kteire]

He's tougher. He never admits to being sick or to being in pain, unless he's feeling it very badly. I think I've had a bit of an effect on him in that way, because now he's less hesitant to do things like tend to burns from cooking, and see a doctor when he's legitimately sick!!

[carolynred]

I'm loving this thread! xD haha

In general, he's tougher than me because I'm always the one crying when we have to part ways and he's there to tell me everything will be ok. Otherwise, I feel that I'm tougher than him when it comes to being sick/in physical pain. The second he gets hurt in basketball he is off to the races to find a band aid or his ankle brace. xD I normally just wait to pass the pain off unless if its too harsh. He's a silly one. :P
