Is it morally wrong to insist on partner following up on prediabetes, if he doesn't want to?
Marked sensitive for health problems!
My partner has always said that he'd rather not know if he has a disease so he can "die happy" 🙈
Anyway, 6 months ago he found he has prediabetes. In the UK, you should get a follow-up every few months, particularly after the first few changes are made.
GP didn't get in touch for the follow-up; I talked to him about it several times and he said he won't be getting in touch to request it. Reasoning is the same, he "doesn't see the point" and "am sure it's fine".
Personally, knowing him, I understand he's scared, and perhaps unwilling to deal with it.
Insisting for him to get a follow up is GUARANTEED to not work.
Talking to him about how a chronic disease would affect his whole family has not worked.
Gently suggesting it has not worked.
My question is: am I interfering with his will by wanting him to follow up on his prediabetes check up, if he explicitly said he doesn't want to?
And if you don't think I am morally forcing him, what is a constructive way you'd encourage him?
