I wondered how people deal with situations when the one you care for gets unpleasant . My husband though still able to work on his pc at home , otherwise gets very unpleasant and quite nasty , verbally . He has numerous conditions , I appreciate that , but I won’t tolerate nastiness . He also acts like a naughty child . He has circulation problems , but just wont do what is advised , he keeps crossing his legs stopping the flow , so I put a cushion between his legs , he then crosses his legs over it . This is how he is . The Gp and district nurse have told him to walk around the house and garden for exercise , does he ? No . He will not help himself .
The Gp told him it’s not an option it’s a necessity , but it seems to fall on deaf ears , he is just going to do what he wants to do .
I wondered if there is any advice for me in coping with this .
Good morning Daisy, that sounds like quite a problem you have there. It’s natural for your husbands problems to affect his mood but nastiness is unacceptable.
Is he eating a proper balanced diet and drinking plenty of water? It seems that many men don’t help themselves, I’m married to one, but rely on others to spur them on.
If the doctor has done a thorough examination and told your husband what he has to do to help himself then what else can be done? Hopefully someone will be able to suggest something to help.
Take care xxxxx
