I don't want to sound like a nag to my husband, and I could possibly be overreacting, however, I really need him to start taking things seriously.
I've been on Remicade since January, I've been doing really well with avoiding contact with people who are sick (had a few people at work who had pneumonia) and avoiding putting myself at risk for picking something up. The pharmacist told me that the members of your household also need to take similar precautions, I talked to my husband about this, but he's not taking me seriously.
For example, he continues to forget to bring his shower sandals to the gym and keeps picking up athletes foot, the first time I got athlete's foot was because he had it first. Last week I found a tube of antifungal cream in the bathroom, so I asked him if he had athlete's foot again, and he laughed at me.
Yesterday he started coming down with flu symptoms, yet he insists on hovering in my face (I may also have personal space issues, but that's another story), and again when I tried to talk to him about it, he laughed at me.
We were out somewhere and he thought it would be funny to stick his fingers in my face after touching who knows what and again laughed at me.
Everytime I try to talk to him about not putting me at risk for getting sick, he just laughs at me. I don't want to sound like a nagging wife or a germaphobe, but I just want him to take it a little bit more seriously. But when I ask him to, he either laughs more, or sulks.
Don't know what to do? Do I just drop the issue altogether?
