I think that it upset me because it came as a shock. It never crossed my mind that the status would be looked at another way (I was praising the health care system) And he was adopting this victim/martyr role.

Since I had kept him updated about everything else maybe he thought I didn't want to talk about this since I didn't approach him. And I'm just overthinking the whole thing.

There is nothing I hate MORE than people who put cryptic things on FB or post things looking for pity. So I will have to think more about how my updates could be interpreted while I am in a "dance of uncertainty" with him prior to posting anything.

Oh and it is worth noting that he NEVER was interested in facebook previously it's all quite strange.

I don't know why I felt the need to clarify to him that I wasn't ignoring him. I wavered on that and sent it anyway.

The expectations? I meant to write but why do I expect emotional support. He asked for facts I gave him facts and as a man he sees that at the end of the exchange. I was quite proud of myself for not being needy, pitiful etc even though I'm going through something quite serious. And yet, perhaps because I'm in love with him, I still wanted a bit of an emotional response.
