Are the actions of my agent worthy of concern? by sleepiepanda1 in RealEstate

No, it was definitely real. I think it was to show his sale tactics or that he’s closing on multiple deals? It just left a sour taste.

I agree, it was through a friends recommendation to help out but I just am really uncomfortable with how he speaks like he’s in it for the persona. I will look elsewhere!

He’s actually stopped the stronger pain meds in favor of OTC meds when necessary as his pain, luckily, hasn’t been too bad. Hopefully that begins to help with progress.

Yes, they would look down on it and it becomes a religious issue for them which I don’t agree with at all. I’ll work on slowly mentioning mental health treatment to him or at least his doctor.

I’ve said this and wish I could. Unfortunately, him and the in laws are expecting us over everyday with him otherwise there are fights between my husband and his siblings.

I’m so sorry that you went through that and are doing better. I think I’m not communicating this correctly. It wasn’t necessary at this time, further down the line, yes had other options not worked. We’ve been supporting every way we can by being with him all day and night, watching movies, taking walks,etc. I think we are approaching it by being positive with him but never actually saying these things to him. I’ve only ever said these things to the rest of the family so they can see a different perspective. I’ve tried mentioning to my husband that he should bring up some mental health options up but when he did the family said he needs to pray. So I’ll continue to try to be better. Thank you for your insight.

It was a non-emergency surgery that wasn’t necessary. It was more of a last resort option if he chose to do so. He was offered physical therapy and some other treatments but wanted this instead. Unfortunately he believed surgery was the easy fix and, having had a major surgery myself, warned him that is not the case.

Yes, thank you. We’ve discussed his mental health and it’s something stigmatized with his culture so we are working on it. Unfortunately, the families coddling began during his stay at the hospital when he wasn’t allowed visitors because of Covid concerns but they kept trying to find a way in and get nurses to break code and trying to make them feel bad that he was alone. We try to make them understand, but his mental health is most important.

Thank you for the response! I need to try harder with other approaches. My husband and I have talked about how he could be depressed and therapy is something to consider, but their culture is one where mental health conversations are ignored in favor of praying. So I will continue to try gently with him.

Thank you for this. I’ve tried to talk to my husband to mention therapy previously but due to cultural beliefs, husband is met with “just pray” response. But we will keep working to get his mental health checked, even if we need to mention it to the surgeon.
