Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : When she gets sick she has frequent coughing fits but refuses to take cough supressant 'unless it gets really bad.' I find it very obnoxious and it's not just the noise that bothers me. It seems she is too proud or stubborn to take meds, but for no good reason. We've discussed it before and she was reasonable but insisted she knows what her body needs. But why does her body need to cough 20 times a minute every 5 minutes? Am I the asshole, AND am I failing to appreciate the body's wisdom when it produces these coughing fits?
