I make the appointment, put him in the car, take him, walk into the office, and say, "He's being weird about it, but he's been complaining about X".

But my doctor is another female dominant, so she doesn't have a problem with that.

ORIGINAL: SomethingCatchy

My friend that I'm starting to get very involved with has a problem with his privates, and I know he does, but he's in complete denial about it. It isn't life threatening but it can be very painful for him (I don't want to go into detail about what he's dealing with) and I want him to see a doctor but he told me "I'll mention it during the next visit" which in guy speak means "I'm in denial and I'm not putting my privates in some doctors cold leathery grasp." If we take our friendship further his problem will become mine because I would be the one causing him a lot of pain.

So the question is. How do you get a stubborn man to see a doctor? I know I can't force him to do anything, and I know I can't nag him either. But is there some sly way of going about it that I don't know about?

I'm not that big a fan of trying to run other folks' lives. One of my friends hasn't seen a dentist since high school. Folks have some strong feelings about whether they 'want to know' if they suspect something's wrong.

If you love him, and cannot be with him because of his illness (and his unwillingness to seek treatment), you wil have to *pause and relect* on what to do.

Trying to manipulate someone who is an adult into doing something they do not wish to do is disrepectful. *You* need him to seek treatment and not be ill -- but it is his body.

Well, you know uus well candy and know that that has not been an easy task here. lol. But i just let Master be. i explain my concerns and solutions. As you know i am a nurse, so i tend to give more info than Mmost. It is ultimately His decision and i just present all the facts as far as the health problem and how it does or will affect the family.

Create symptoms for yourself. Share these "symptoms" with him, let him worry about you. Have him tell you "you need to get that checked". Then point out why you did this.

But the problem is the winky! His Unit, his best buddy and partner in crime. If something were happening to my girly bits, I would run, not walk, to get checked out.
