This would make me feel mad.
It is understandable that your husband did this out of fear, care and concern for you. But I would feel like this was crossing boundaries and I think I'd want to say, "this is my doctor, not your doctor." I have noticed that I have to feel responsible and capable in my own self-care. (I would never be going to a 12-step program if anyone insisted that I go). I feel very triggered by people telling me what to do, but have found the self-care that comes from deep within to be the most helpful. Over time it has even made me feel more open to hearing what people have to say without becoming triggered that they are "trying to tell me what to do."

Sending supportive thoughts your way...
