I blocked my boyfriend after he didn’t take his health seriously – I dont want to lose him

DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER my new boyfriend repeatedly refused to take his health concerns seriously, I blocked him.

I really like him, and things were getting serious, but I can’t bear to be in a relationship with someone who neglects his health. Am I overreacting?

I’m 44 and he’s 42. We’ve been seeing each other for a year.

We got on brilliantly and were discussing moving in together, but his lack of concern for his health issues made me so angry, I told him I wouldn’t speak to him until he went to the doctor.
