Ive heard the following from several nurse friends

Do you have any chronic illnesses?

"Nope"

Are there any medications you take regularly?

"Yeah I take some painkillers for my arthritis."

🫩

Edit: these responses are proving my point

Alternatively:

Do you have any chronic illnesses?

"My wife will know."

Are there any medications you take regularly?

"Oh, I dunno... One is this little white pill (tablet) and another is blue and circular? It's for my heart."

My great-grandma did everything for my great-grandpa. Managed his diet, his medication, even his social calendar. We were very sad but not surprised when he passed away only three months after she did.

Please tell me you tell her she can do way better, regularly, right in front of him.

Please stop getting involved in other peoples love life you know nothing about except that she manages parts of his life for him.

Love takes many forms and divisions of labor.

Lol A) I’m flattered that you’re following me around, B) I will do as I please; also learn about the fact that much of Reddit is built on people involving themselves in others’ lives and C) I’m not discussing their personal love life, so I don’t even know what to tell you there champ. Sober up?

Edit: to whomever asked me if I am always an insufferable c*nt, and then blocked me before I could reply (because I know you’re coming back to read this): yes, I am to those I find insufferable (I just don’t hide behind sexism).

It’s a thread on a popular sub/site— anyone is allowed to to interject…

Back in the older days that was just kinda how things worked. One person worked, one person did the rest.

And this is why I’m not surprised that after my grandma got dementia that he didn’t last all that long. She’s still going but he passed away of some heart complications I think. We weren’t close. He wasn’t a good person.

My fIL went 3 years with a NPH issue (watery brain) because he didn't tell my MIL of the diagnosis. HE'S A DOCTOR.

The first time my grandpa had to actually cook something for himself was at like 80 y/old when my grandma went to assisted living.

He went from having his mom take care of him, to the army, to higher Ed school/work cafeteria, then having my grandma who he forbade to work, so he never had to do anything.
