You know MI isn't as simple as other illnesses. If you concur with what I believe: that it is a spectrum the lines between what is illness and what is simply different become pretty blurred. It's not like people say "well she might have cancer but we aren't sure so let's just give her chemo. Let's not tell her she'll loose her hair in the process because she might not do it otherwise." I had a procedure this week and they had no problem telling me the worst of the worst that could happen. (Next time I am having that DNR prepared.)

Your husband sounds like he has a difficult time and he is probably difficult. (At least I would likely find him difficult but then I am agnostic approaching atheist. Anybody who tries to sell me their religion drives me crazy!) Yet he is paying bills somehow even if he isn't working. And you are still married to him and still talking so you must like him in some level. Some people are sufferers. I'm like that... Up to a point anyway. Like they are happy being unhappy. I realize I am reading a lot into very little information and probably overstepping. Is it wrong for him to refuse meds? I mean athletes beat themselves up if they don't win a race. It isn't exactly healthy but we don't tell them to stop trying either

All I'm suggesting is you both consider being more accepting
