I need your advice !
My partner told about my HepC to his brother and his 3 adult children without any my concern and not asked any of my permission. I am very upset about it. But he doesn"t accept him disclosure my private information as Breach of Confidentiality as we are not in professional relationship. Just shouting and threatening me . What shall I do ?
Snowdrop, I'm sorry your partner seems to have betrayed your trust and I can understand why you are upset.
If I was in your position I would put aside the anger and hurt for a moment and simply ask him why he told them about your condition. Ask him exactly what he has said to them and what was their reaction.
If he has told them things which were wrong or misleading you need to put them straight. One way you can do this is by getting the correct information from the British Liver Trust website and downloading the leaflet on Hepatitis C and give them copies to read. As well as this give them the internet link for the Trust.
Maybe, then your partner and his family will have a better understanding of your situation and you can have a proper discussion on how you can all deal with this in the right way.
I hope that helps a bit and you continue with this site for further help and support.
Take care,
Jim
Do you really want to be with someone who shouts and threatens you after disclosure that you have a serious health condition and need as little stress as possible and all round support?
Sounds an unpleasant bully
If he is not usually like this perhaps you both may benefit from counselling
He should have asked you first before disclosing
Common decency and care.
Hi Snowdrop
First of all I'm so sorry your partner behaved this way and hasn't respected your privacy. It is concerning that, having explained your feelings about the disclosure, he still continues to deny having done anything wrong. I don't know how long you've been together but the shouting and threatening doesn't sound positive.
If this isn't his typical behaviour then counselling together might work. However if he often behaves this way - violating your boundaries and shouting and bullying, being unkind, please consider visiting the Women's Aid website to make sure you're not in an abusive relationship.
You deserve to have your feelings listened to. Take care
Best wishes
