Boyfriend Help


Question Posted Friday April 1 2005, 10:57 pm

I was having a semi-asthma attack on the phone with my boyfriend, and if you've ever had an asthma attack you aren't able to talk without hurting yourself. My boyfriend was asking over and over if I could breathe, well obviously not? I wouldn't answer because it hurt for me to talk and I finally answered with "No!" Then he takes it all defensivly and was like "Sorry! I was just trying to help, but you keep shutting me out." I wasn't shutting him out was I? I was just trying to be able to breathe... Any Advice?

Well, he's obviously too uptight about it. Make sure he knows the difference between not talking because you can't and not talking because you won't.

Explain to him the situation, if he's a good person he'll understand that it's a medical condition and that you couldn't breath so you had to struggle and yell out "no". I think if you talk to him you guys should be ok.

No, you just need to explain to him what happens when an asthma attack occurs. My boyfriend has asthma, and I get very worried when he has an attack of it, so you just need to say you're sorry, but thats all you could get out, and you're lucky you got the word "NO!" out. But listen, he was very worried about you. He does not have asthma himself, so he doesn't understand it, and you should explain this to him.

My Brilliant answer/advice:
Just tell him the story. The truth. If he loves you, he'd understand. If not, he's not worth loving. It's as easy as that, believe it or not. "Live life with Love" is what I say...

Just explain to your boyfriend exactly what you said here. Tell him that during an asthma attack, you can't talk in order to save what little breath you have for breathing. Let him know that you weren't shutting him out, but in a situation like that you have to come first. Tell him if he cared for you he wouldn't be jumping down your throat after you had an asthma attack, but would have been asking you if you were okay.

Just explain to him what was happening.... Surely he will understand..... Also, you may want to tell him that the next time you are having one you may just hang up.... or maybe you cvould like press 3 buttons or something to let him know that that is what has happened.

I really hope I helped

Let him know what you experience during an asthma attack. If he's never seen someone have one he probably just need's it explained to him.:)

No, I don't think you were shutting him out...Just breathing as best you could!

shake answered Friday April 1 2005, 11:57 pm:
Yeah, why were you still on the phone with him and not 911 or taking your inhaler or in the ER. You're just too stupid to know that arent you. Dont tell me im dumb and i wouldnt know what im talking about either. I used to get ASTHMA ATTACKS-severe at that- at least 3-4 times a year, not joking it used to be real bad. Luckily i've grown out of it and have aboslutely no problems with it. But seriously you're stupid.

gp4l answered Friday April 1 2005, 11:13 pm:
if he really loves you he'll understand just explain to him what you just explained in your question and he'll understand...let him know that you appreciate his concern and you didnt mean to act ignorant or unappreciative but the circumstances you were under at that moment made you not be able to control your response..just explain to him and everything will be just fine...hope my comments are useful to you

partygurl24 answered Friday April 1 2005, 11:08 pm:
I think that you should talk to your boyfriedn about it. Tell him that you weren't trying to yell at him or trying to shut him out, but you needed air and couldn't breathe, so all you could do at that moment was yell because that's all the energy you could get out of your system. He will understand, but only with your help and you can do that if you tell him why you did what you did so that he doesn't think you hate him. You know that he was just trying to help, but wasn't really comprehending to your feelings at that point of time. Talk to him and sort things out. I hope I helped!

i would just explain to him that you were having an asthma attack, and it is very hard to obviously breathe and talk. if he doesnt understand the fact that you couldnt breathe, and that you werent shutting him out, then he's not worth it

Hey don't listen to him. He obviously doesnt have Ashtma so just tell him you couldn't breathe. If he likes you he'll understand.
