I wish he would understand šŸ˜ž

My partner just wants to blame everything on a ā€œspiritual crisisā€ and thinks that anything can be fixed with diet and exercise. I get that diet has a lot to do with health but physical exercise can make certain conditions worse. Iā€™m dealing with some unknown medical issues and he just wants to tell me ā€œ you just need to exerciseā€ he doesnā€™t want to listen that Iā€™ve been feeling ill, lightheaded, dizzy, vision loss. I get so weak I need to lay down and rest. Physical activity is really challenging for me. My doctor is sending my blood work to a hematologist to try and get some answers. But my partner doesnā€™t want to believe that I could have a blood condition or an autoimmune disease. His answer is always I just need to exercise šŸ™„ itā€™s getting really frustrating I just wish he would listen and get off my ass šŸ˜„

Tell him to back off. If he canā€™t respect you and act like a caring partner, then Iā€™m sorry, but heā€™s not a good man to be with.

@MorbidCynic he can be caring and very compassionate. Thereā€™s other times heā€™s not. And I just wish that he would be understanding and compassionate all the time. Not just some of the time. I more wish that he would understand that not everything is a spiritual crisis and people have medical issues that need addressed

@MorbidCynic my partner is really big into alternative medicine. Really big into yoga and meditation. Not really into doctors and Western medicine. So thatā€™s why he thinks that pretty much everything is a spiritual crisis and could just be fixed with exercise diet and meditation. It gets pretty frustrating at times. Thank you for commenting I appreciate it ā¤ļø

@SW-User youā€™re welcome. Even eastern doctors recognize the need for medication and treating illnesses appropriately. A lot of western people seem to misunderstand eastern medication. Itā€™s not all hippy dippy stuff. Good luck!
