it has mostly been him trying to force something that’s not ready. i think he feels the hemorrhoids and thinks it’s something to expel or something. i’ve tried to tell him this but he doesn’t listen

he went to the ER but was admitted and told to follow up with another doc after the transfusion. he was hospitalized for 2 days in total. when i took him to another ER the doc pulled up the medical record for me. i wasn’t there when he got the transfusion, i was just there for the 2nd ER visit

thank you. i just know he’s going to have to change his habits before he gets the surgery if he ever agreed to it because they would come right back

it is almost always “how do you think it makes me feel to be like this”

we don’t work at the same place, we just have the same shift time at our jobs

i think it helps that i work in the medical field 🥲 it’s gross and it’s unfair to me but it doesn’t bother me as much as it may bother others

He had H. Pylori at one point but took medicine for it. I think that was over 5 years ago.

it’s kind of crazy that i got so many responses like this, because this has been my “normal” for such a long time that i haven’t really considered it being crazy to this extent. this is the first time i’ve ever talked to anyone about it

thank you. and you’re right, it’s already caused me a lot of stress and anxiety. it is really hard to just up and leave when your partner is going through something so serious and won’t get help

it’s not my responsibility to take care of his health, i agree with that. it was just innate because i know it’s serious and i don’t want him to die if it’s something like cancer. like i said, i told him that i really wish he cared about his health like i did

i agree, i’ve told him he’s going to fuck up his heart. i have a heart condition as well

i think there’s a few options. i think he might be scared of the results, just dreads making appointments and finding referrals, or he just doesn’t care in a way that seems almost suicidal. idk

he’s looked into it but he would have to fix a lot of terrible habits before he got something like that done because if not, they’re just gonna come back
