AITA for telling my boyfriend to stop telling me how to improve when I’ve had it for 8 years and he’s had it for 3 months?

For context: I get blood work done every 3 months. I absolutely hate it. I have to stop drinking alcohol, and I can’t have any sugar for 24 hrs before I get my blood work done. I also have to fast for 12ish hrs before I get my blood work done.<br><br>Last week my boyfriend and I got our blood work done together. I told him how much I hate the process. He said he had never felt better and loved the process but it sounded like a burden that I had to do it every 3 months. He said that he would be happy to help me get through it. I thanked him and said it’s been 8 years so I can get through it.<br><br>He said that we should limit drinking and eat healthier. I said that we were already doing that. He asked what else we could do. I said I was going to look up more options tonight. He asked if I wanted to hear his opinion. I said no but thanks. He still went on and on about how to help me get through this process. <br><br>When he finally left I looked up more things I could do. We are already eating healthier (he suggested a couple of things I already do) and again we were limiting drinking. <br><br>The next day my boyfriend brought up again how he could help me. I said that I don’t need his help and that I’m fine with doing it, that it was part of life. He said that he can’t watch me go through this. I said that he really doesn’t have a choice but to watch me go through this.<br><br>Fast forward a week. My boyfriend told me that I was being stubborn and I was letting something that was preventable drag me and him down. I said that I was happy with my life and the way I take care of myself and I wasn’t going to change what I eat or drink. He said that I should get blood work done more often and then I would see I needed to change.<br><br>This turned into a fight with him saying again that I should be doing something about my health and that I’m letting my health go down. He said that I’m not taking my health seriously and I should be.<br><br>I said that I take my health seriously and he said “no you don’t. If you did you would be doing something about your health instead of dragging yourself and me down.” I said “me dragging you down? Do I need to get blood work done? Yes. Does it suck? Yes. But I’m not letting it drag me down.”<br><br>He said that I was being stubborn and I was letting it effect our relationship. <br><br>AITA?
