Why should she self-criticize over this?

be more considerate, be nice to the guy - let him hang out with his friends, let him make ONE mistake and be willing to forgive

it makes a big difference

dont have a huge discussion over every mistake, dont tell him how he "should have acted"

that has to be the NUMBER ONE most annoying thing EVER

when you point the finger outwards
often the cause actually lies within


and why call it self criticism?

self improvement is a better term

Because she hasn't done anything wrong?

I think she made a reasonable request, too. Oh well!

Or he's a jerk.
Or maybe he doesn't get sick easily - different people react to colds and flus differently. Some people don't believe much in medicine, they never take it when they have a cold. Some people get a cold and go immediately to bed and want someone to nurse them back to health, others get a cold and just go about their normal business.

I think this couple just isn't compatible.

I'm just curious, I don't see how the guy deals with being sick as having anything to do with what he thinks should be done for her. If I care at all about someone, I would want to be helpful. Being helpful is not about how I want something done but how the person I am helping wants it done.

But that's the other aspect. If she was contagious then she wasn't helping him by exposing him to whatever virus she had. Maybe he's one of those germ phobes that thinks by being exposed to a cold or flu that he could come down with it also.

I totally agree. Who would have got you the medicine 2 weeks ago before you met this guy?

Even more reason to show him the door. There is no place in my life for takers. If you have no compassion how can you claim to be human. I am a compassionate person, if someone I barely knew needed me to help them because they were sick, I would do whatever I could.

I have been in that place myself, being a single Mother, its a hard place to be, having no one else to help you, when you can't help yourself.
