Re: really very angry
His mum and dad are not only older than you…they’re plain old. They may seem fit as a fiddle to you, but as people age they become more vulnerable to a host of medical problems and they don’t have the strong immune system you do so it’s natural for him to become more alarmed with his parents than you…and you already know this as you are educated. Consider the example that if a woman in her 20s such as yourself were to experience numbness in her arms…it would be less worrying than an elderly person (such as your in-laws) displaying the same exact symptom cuz it could be a sign of heart trouble. Just stop competing with them. I once read this quote in a book that whenever you compete with another woman, you degrade yourself. So quit degrading yourself.
“OK” means okay. Look it up in the dictionary. There’s nothing about the word “OK” that suggests that you are even 1% unwell. You should have been more specific and told that you’re not as worse as before but not completely well either. And I have a feeling that if you had been specific he would have understood and let you relax…because he’s actually mature and flexible like that even if he’s not the mind reader you want him to be.
Quit bringing every issue back to how he’d react if it was his parents. You and his mother are two different relationships with two different dynamics…you’re both not the same age, you don’t have the same health, etc etc. It’s childish to even create a thread on this. MOVE ON!!!
