Willing to plan out lifestyle changes to improve your health or his?
Research health concerns you have presented with and ask questions, come up with a plan forward?
If you need a biopsy, is he concerned?
Ask you how you are feeling?
Does he support or sabotage your progress ( eating, exercise)



A good spouse is suppose to try to do all of the above, they'll fall short, not meet your expectations all the time but you'll know they care and try to support. They'll have their own fairs and anxieties about you and future so under pressure themselves. Perfect spouse doesn't exist. You aren't one either.

My 61 year old husband is a doctor. He's generally laid-back, but does remind me to do my mammogram, pap smears, etc. He supervises our family's health (both our kids have a lot of allergies), but is not always up to date on modern treatments.

What he's really bad at is eating healthy and colonoscopies. He eats junk food daily and has put off his colonoscopy for YEARS!

And he not only cares about me but he cares for me.
Almost to the point where I have to tell him to stop.
When I got sick recently, he actually woke me up every 4 hours to make sure I was still alive.
I found him sleeping on the floor in my bedroom. I have a daybed with a trundle and brand new mattress. ????? I told him to cut that out so he slept on the sofa after that.
He cleans up my vomit and my accidents. I was very sick.
He even carried me to the bathroom when I was too weak to walk.
If that ain't love I don't know what is.


Oh no, why were you throwing up?

Again, not a statement- it is a question, psychotherapist.


Are you OP? Regardless, very rude. The PP seems to have had good intentions.



Yeah, not really. And the "PP" is you.


Yeah, really. And we know who which post they were writing about- knock it off. Tired eyeroll tryhard.

Sorry you were so sick. Glad you have a lovely husband. Yes, it's love.
