VIDEO: "What is parental alienation?" Parental alienation is when a parent allows a child to participate or hear them degrade the other parent. This is not uncommon in divorces and the children often adjust. In severe cases, however, it can be devastating to the child. This video provides a helpful overview.

Any more thoughts on whether or not you want to control him?

Can you see how your approach to this situation can be seen my others a desire to control him?

Hoping the stomach bugs passes soon.

Am I being controling for putting my foot down and saying I am not going apologize for having my period as I have to  every month to him? Controling for standing up to him and saying I won't be in the same bed with him while he is contagious?  I have an autoimmune disease that can and has put me complete out of action for months - although I still press on since meeting him for his sake. I am fed up. 

Last week I had to deal with one parent  being hospitalized unexpectedly while another was at home too weak to get out of bed without help.  Meanwhile there's a physically healthy man at home who refuses to do even the simplest thing that others do every single day. I am tired in every way. When I was single for nearly 20 years I had to do things alone. Now, instead of having a man that is a team mate to me, I find myself having to do things constantly for him too.

First of all    Virtual hug (click to insert in post) Virtual hug (click to insert in post) Virtual hug (click to insert in post) Virtual hug (click to insert in post) to you while you are working through hospital issues with your parents.  Hang in there!


Am I being controling for putting my foot down and saying I am not going apologize for having my period as I have to  every month to him?


Yes I am...and that's a good thing!  What I read above is about your body and your health and inside your boundaries, therefor you SHOULD be controlling of that.  Unapologetically.

 
Controling for standing up to him and saying I won't be in the same bed with him while he is contagious?  I have an autoimmune disease

Again, yes you are being controlling ...and properly so.  Your health, your disease, your sleep.  You set the ground rules (with appropriate medical advice) regarding your health. 

You do not get to control if others accept and follow those rules. That's inside their boundaries.

Therefore it's proper that you make the decision to not sleep in same bed with him.

 
 
 Meanwhile there's a physically healthy man at home who refuses to do even the simplest thing that others do every single day.

Perdita I would resist making judgments for which you lack qualifications.  Only doctors with all the facts can determine the status of his physical and/or mental health. 

My understanding is you are not going to "force" the issue on health, therefore we simply don't know.

You can't control his doctor decisions (outside your boundaries), however you can control the "type" of person you live with (especially due to your health status).  That's inside your boundaries.

It also speaks volumes about his care for you that he exposes your poor health to his poor hygiene.

Also raises the question about why you continue to expose your poor health to the possibility of compromise by being in a home with him (even if you do use different bathroom and bed).

Seems risky to me.

I am tired in every way. When I was single for nearly 20 years I had to do things alone. Now, instead of having a man that is a team mate to me, I find myself having to do things constantly for him too.

No Perdita you don't have to.  He doesn't have the power to force you.

For some reason you are choosing to do these things.  I would suggest that's a place to reflect on for a while.

Best,

FF
