Just Venting About DH

[2quilt]

DH has fainted twice now; once while sitting at a traffic light, once when he stood up out of the hot tub.
While I don't want to nag, I have inquired twice as to how long he's going to wait before he goes to the doctor.

Some Day

I say, "And what do you plan to do when you faint going 65 mph on the highway?" I don't want to be a widow.
"Would you rather go to the doctor or the morgue?"

Sigh.

How long does it take to raise a husband?

2quilt.......As I always say to people that complain/vent/rage about their hubbies......"He is only a man."

Sorry that your DH is being so stubborn....Fainting doing 65mph in traffic or doing 25mph in traffic wouldn't be a good thing at all.

I would start nagging.....

I prefer not to nag. I just ask when should I make the appointment for him and if he wants me to go with him. I usually get "whenever" so I make the appointment, tell him when it is and remind on the day.

Using Nicolette's tactic has worked for me over the years with my hubby. Guys are...well, guys. There's no other way around it. I suggest you make the appointment (tell him you're doing it so he can't accuse you of going behind his back) for him and then remind him and go with him. It old 'bulldozer in a velvet glove' routine.

My husband has told me, when I've told him that I haven't wanted to go to dr's appointment, that he would hog-tie me and take me himself. I'd pass on the favor to him.

Something like this shouldn't be ignored. I hope your DH goes to the doctor.

Before he went to sleep I told him that I had a dilemma and I wanted his advice. That perked up his ears. When he turned around to face me, I told him that I love him, and that I don't want to be a widow or for him to lose his job because he is in a coma or paralyzed from a car accident.
I don't want to nag so what does he recommend?
I said that I don't want to say at his funeral that I wish I had nagged him harder to go to the doctor. If I had bugged him about it, he would be alive today.

He said that he would go, but he didn't say when.

I will make him an appt in the morning.
Can I borrow some rope, Marlene?
