My fiance is a recovering alcoholic. He is now six months sober, but he has a few problems with his liver etc, so he is regularly seeing the doctor. I ask him how he is feeling, and if I'm not able to go to the doctor with him, I will ask him how it went and what the doctor had to say. When I do this he gets angry and tells me I'm being nosey and need to stop. And when I suggest something that might ease some of his pain, he gets angry as well and tells me I'm being a know it all. When I tell him I'm not being nosey, that I'm asking out of care and because I'm his fiance...he just continues to tell me to stop. And when I tell him that I'm not being a know it all, that I'm just trying to help him feel better, he tells me the same thing. But if I don't ask these questions or make suggestions, he'll tell me I don't care about him.
Why is he acting this way? Is it an ego/pride thing?
