When I get a cold, I'm mostly fine powering through and going about my day. It's annoying and I'm tired, but I rarely need to change my plans or get coverage (I'm a SAHM). DH on the other hand, when he gets a cold... let's just say that it's hard to understand why he needs so much rest. I'm curious if this goes along gender lines, as my parents and some other couples I know are kind of the same way.

If there's a huge differential, how do you deal? It's a struggle for me every time.
