Husband, ego, medication, accepts responsibility

Men likes to pout up a brave front even if they are already in pain. But what I think is that they are cowards in facing the reality. They wouldn't want to see a doctor coz they do not want to know the truth about their condition. And I think that is also being selfish. They do not want their wives to take care of them when all that their wives want is to see them healthy and strong because of their wives' love for them. I could be a nag when my husband refuses to listen to me when ever he is sick. He thinks he can handle it himself. But I always tell him that he has no right to get sick because it would affect the whole family as well.

If there are children in the marriage, and if the wife is fairly dependent on the income her doctor-hospital-medicine-vitamin-hating husband earns, then I suggest getting a good life insurance plan BEFORE he sees the doctor--before he has to start treatment, take pills, or even have surgery for an emergency, because if he tries to get an insurance policy after all that, the payments will be a lot higher. My ex-husband wasn't in bad health at all, or so we thought, and never had any major illnesses, but still, he had a massive heart attack at the age of 49. He survived, and the big co-incidence was that we had taken out a life insurance policy two weeks before the heart attack. If we had done that after the heart attack the payments would most likely have been a lot! Sometimes all a wife can do is make sure to do her best to feed her husband the most nutritious meals she can manage to make, try to at least get some vitamins down his throat, and attempt to start a couples exercise program. It'll be good for both of you. Beyond that, let him take responsibility for anything that may occur if he ends up sick as a dog and maybe disabled. If a wife frets over it too much she could end up sick from the anxiety.

I know a lot of men hate doctor and dentist , my boyfriend told me his horror story about a dentist and when I go there it was nothing like he said . Also when I was doing my blood test my fiance was shock to see that I look right at the needle while they put it in my hand to take my blood , I watch the thing full . I think men cant take pain so they have that fear in their head about medication etc. Doctor and dentist are not my fiance friend but he will go if he have to.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well yes u are definitely correct that when husbands are said by their wives to go for a health check up or consult a doctor then they erupt in anger and may be they feel that they are being dominated or subdued by their wives due to which they behave this way. I am shocked when u said that three of your friend's husband lost their lives simply because of their health negligence and i think its high time that all men understand that at times they need to listen to their women also. What say?
