Advice from Annie Lane.
My husband is a hypochondriac. It is so very hard living with him. Every time he hears of someone in our family coming down with an illness, he claims he has it. He is a healthy man and perfectly able-bodied. I get disgusted when he takes a handicapped spot next to a store when I know he doesn’t need it.
He hears about a disease, looks up the symptoms and swears he has it. He goes to his doctors and will relay his “symptoms” to them. They run expensive tests, and he is on many medications because of this. Years ago, I had a serious injury and required surgery. The doctor prescribed some pain medication for me to take because I would be in pain after the anesthesia wore off. At home, I slept. I woke up in horrible pain, and a few hours later I told my husband I was going to take my medication. To which he said, “You never take medicine anyway and my hip was hurting so I took them, and they don’t do anything for you.” My husband had taken three days of my pain medication while I slept.
He has no hobbies, no friends, he spends his entire day on his laptop. He doesn’t eat any vegetables or fruit.Whenever we go anywhere, he will pretend to throw his hip or hurt himself.
