Now, she does want to make it clear that aside from this issue with her boyfriend, they are actually in the happiest relationship of her life. Plus, whenever she does get sick, it’s not like he runs for the hills or refuses to take care of her.
Instead, he just mimics whatever symptoms she is feeling within twenty-four hours of her symptom onset– and she claims that is because he is a hypochondriac. While she does understand her boyfriend’s fear of catching whatever illness she comes down with, though, the pattern is simply starting to drive her utterly insane.
“He goes above and beyond in every other aspect of our relationship. But I just want a simple way to explain to him that it is annoying me where I do not look unsympathetic,” she vented.
So now, she has been left wondering how to approach her boyfriend about this issue without just offending him or starting an argument.
Has your partner ever “copied” your symptoms and claimed they are sick whenever you get a cold or virus? Do you think her boyfriend is doing it to be malicious, or might he actually just be a hypochondriac? Is there a way she can address this situation without seeming like she is dismissing his feelings? How would you approach your partner about something like this?
