Feelings vs. Personal Freedom
I would like objective opinions on this, as it has become a big problem for my fiance and I lately and I don't know what to do about it.
Due to our lovely economy, my fiance's work hours have been cut down to part-time. Instead of finding another part-time job, he wants to take part in a medical study where they test drugs on you for money. The drugs are FDA approved, it's been warranted safe, etc. However, because I am marrying this man and we plan to have children someday, I am not comfortable with him doing this. I just don't like the unknown aspect of this--proven safe or not, they are still testing drugs on him. He thinks I am being ridiculous, because the statistics have shown it's safe.
So now we have a problem. If he goes and does this study (he has to stay there overnight for a few days so they can monitor his body) I don't feel like he's taking my feelings seriously. If he doesn't go, I'm not valuing his judgement and personal freedom. I told him because we're in a relationship, it's not just him anymore, and he should consider both of our feelings on the issue. I just don't see a solution to this. Damned if he does go, damned if he doesn't. I think there are other solutions out there besides drug testing to make extra money. I wish he would pick one of those instead of going to this extreme.
