We are having some money issues and my wife takes blood pressure medication as I do, although they are different types and strengths. She did not tell me she was out until she started getting a headache late Friday (It is now Sunday for us). She had not bought them because the budget was tight until Saturday. On Saturday morning she took one of my tablets to try and ease the headache, I insisted she go down and get her prescription filled however she would not. Then this morning We got up and I was getting ready to take her down to pick them up and she told me she had taken one of my pills again. I went off at her and said it was a stupid thing to do and that she was not to take my medication again. Now she is not talking to me and I am so upset I was thinking of just going down and saying I wanted out and we could just go back to being pissed at each other all the time. This is just a vent to let me settle down I think. Women, Cant live with them and cant live without them. Dianne.
While annoying, respect the consideration she showed for your household as a whole by attempting to sacrifice for its benefit, even if it was ill advised. Give her a hug, hold her close, and let her know that you appreciate the effort, but you'd prefer to find financial sacrifices elsewhere so that she can share many more days with you.
Hi Not something you expect on here and I am very sad to hear about your situation. However I would say that lifestyle changes can make big inroads to reducing blood pressure and thus reducing or indeed eliminating the need for expensive drugs that can have side effects that are not very good. So talking to dieticians and taking a lot more exercise stopping smoking if you do reducing alcohol can produce very good results. Obviously cooking everything from basic ingredients eliminating salt and sugar bad fats . Cutting out all take aways and ready meals . Once you get used to home cooking you will be supprised how much cheaper it is and simple things like proper porridge with semi skimmed milk kills colesterol big time . You can eat it without salt sugar !little honey is OK got lots of good things in that. I am sure things will calm down BP is not for life xx Xx Wendy
go back to your wife and tell her you only got angry and upset with her as your worried you'd lose her forever if she had an adverse reaction to your meds. that'll help then sit down together and find a way to find the cash to pay for the meds as others have have said and also the changes in lifestyle that would mean no longer taking them
Thanks for the advice from you all, it is appreciated. It is sorted now and I think I just needed to get it out so I could deal with it. I know she is just thinking of everyone but herself however with medical problems everything else can wait. I took her down and got her the correct medication this morning and I think she realises the reason for my being upset. Dianne
Ur a good partner and ur lucky to have each other. I cld easily see myself getting upset for the same reason. Once sorted out and when tensions are over I wld offer up a service she enjoys like a full body massage, foot rub and pedi, or whatever u know she likes. I find it helps us get back in to the d/s mind frame.
It sounds like an awful situation for you both. When emotions are running high and she feels ill I imagine its easy to u understand how your concerns were mistaken for an attack. Glad to hear its all sorted now and I hope she is feeling better. We complain alot in the UK about the NHS but we forget how lucky we are to have it sometimess.
@coffee2sugars Thanks for the support. The issue really was that she will sacrifice her own health for the sake of others. It is all good now though. Dianne.
