I've been dating someone exclusively for 5 months and I have noticed that he is very dramatic about his health. At first, I was worried because he claimed to have severe headaches. He said doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him. However, now it's clear to me that he is seeking attention. He always finds different problems with himself; such as the headaches, he will fake a cough as soon as I walk into a room, says he is tired because of cooking. He also claims to have dog allergies and has used a small wet towel to cover his nose, which he has stopped doing. I've talked to him a couple of times and he gets defensive. I'm not sure how to handle this, but I find it weird. I appreciate any advice!

any chance he could be a hypochondriac? did you notice him acting like this early on ... anything at all? maybe it's taken you some time getting used to him and he's always like this ...

if not, then maybe something has happened recently where he might be bothered by the fact you're not paying much attention to him. so, he's making things up to cause you alarm.

as for the sex answer that someone else posted ... i don't know ... if it were me and I wanted sex that my girlfriend didn't want often enough ... i'd find ways to make her horny. :)
