What to Do When Your Partner Refuses Therapy or Medication
The Situation
"She won't take medication or go to therapy"
The Brutal Truth
His refusal to seek help means he’s either avoiding responsibility for his mental health or is deeply resistant to change. This behavior indicates potential emotional unavailability and a lack of commitment to personal growth, leaving you to shoulder the burden.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might start questioning their own worth, thinking they need to change themselves to make him feel comfortable. This is toxic because it shifts focus away from his responsibilities and signifies a need for reassurance rather than a stable relationship.
