Thanks very much for the support and advice. I definitely refrain from discussing any medical issues with him. He's brainwashed himself (for many years) with some dopey New Age belief system that, imo, he's taken way too seriously. My husband has a dread fear of ANYTHING medical and uses the belief system he has to entirely avoid doctors...unless he's desperately in need of one, of course. Then he's the first one to scream and moan about how sick he is.
He's a veteran, so I actually receive money for being married to him. Fortunately, I did wise up some years ago and moved out on my own. Frankly, couldn't avoid it...his OCD causes him to hoard and there was literally no room for me in the house. Still, he's my husband, our kids' dad.
Anyway, I didn't mean to turn this into a vent. Just wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation...someone close who has a relgious/spiritual belief that discourages medical care...and, if so, how s/he handles such a dilemma.
