It is a waste to ignore the musings of the mind.

A Question of Insult
It is sad to face the fact that he is a sensitive person. We have been married for over 10 years now, and I still don't know how to remind him about seeing a doctor. If a remind him once, he gets irritated. Then if I keep reminding him, he gets angry. Because he says I'm insulting him.

For the first time I realize I don't need to remind him at all. He is an adult and reminding him irritates him, going to the extent I am insulting his intelligence. Suddenly I wake up and understand why he feels insulted.

I do remind him quite often. And some of the time, I just forget myself, and keep on reminding him. Now if he would do the same to me, I would probably say, he is insulting my intelligence.

Suddenly I see his side. I guess it is not the reminders that irritate him, but the constancy of it all.

As a promise to myself, I will stop reminding him from now on. But then, if I stop, when will I know that he will go and see his doctor? Yes, of course, I don't need to know about that. I shall just trust him and be happy when he comes one day and tells me, he has been to see his doctor!!!

Do you have this problem?
