[quote=Anonymous]Some people are like that. My sister is. She had a health scare. At a recent appointment, she got back the news that all was clear from one set of tests, which means it’s not the worst case scenario. They were able to rule out a terminal illness as the issue, but they have to do more tests to figure out what is going on. At the end of the appointment, the doctor asked if she or her husband needed anything else. She has been taking his Xanax because she’s so anxious, so he asked for a refill of that.

She went nuts because he made the appointment all about him. She would never dream of doing something so selfish to him. When she told me the story, I was confused because it didn’t seem like such a big deal, especially since I knew she was taking all his Xanax. (She won’t get her own prescription because she’s not crazy.) I asked if he did something else to make her upset and she said no, that was enough.

Then she got mad at me because I didn’t agree that what he did was that egregious. Then she went on to say her DH and I were being too celebratory about it not being a terminal illness, because the chance of it having been that was so small, we were being ridiculous. That us being so happy about her not having that disease means we clearly don’t care that she’s still not sure what the problem is, and we probably think she’s faking her symptoms anyway. Now she’s threatening to refuse further testing and let nature take its course.

So yeah, sometimes people overreact at crazy levels over insignificant comments. Some people can be very passive aggressive. With some people, you just can’t win. I’d demand therapy OP. I couldn’t stay in a marriage like that. [/quote]
