Man Demands His Fiancée Get A Full Body CT Scan Before Getting Married

The following story was submitted to the subreddit /r/relationships, and centers around a woman asking for advice after her fiancée, who she has been with for several years, demanded that she take a full body CT scan before their wedding to rule out any underlying medical conditions. After her story was reposted by the Twitter account @redditships, many users couldn't help but reply with their own advice, which was pretty much just a chorus of many yelling "run."

 
The #1 answer appeared to be: "get out of this relationship."

Advice?DO NOT MARRY THIS MAN.

Yea. This post screams "UNADDRESSED TRAUMA."Better than a CT scan for her, would be couples therapy for them. They need neutral ground to figure out why this fear of his is clouding their relationship. He probably also needs individual therapy.I feel like a broken record. pic.twitter.com/z8DztsmuyM

I think sharing family histories is fair but this is extreme. pic.twitter.com/Nlh0w1P5mk

Others suggested he had other nefarious plans in his head.

Girl, he wants to harvest your organs

Many wondered if her future husband was aware that all humans actually die one day?

committing to someone for life is accepting that they're going to die.

He does understand that at some point you are going to die & that even if you’re “disease-free” now, you could start developing cancer the second you’re married? Is he planning on getting scanned? Save yourself many thousands of $ in scans, wedding costs and therapy: dump him now

Unneeded radiation deserves to be a band name.

FFS you absolutely should not get a FULL BODY CT for no reason, ESPECIALLY as a woman in your 20s?! No. No no no. sweet mother of unneeded radiation

This man really thinks there is a single test that will detect any potential health problems, and also that he wouldn't want to marry someone with a chronic illness/disability yiiiiiikes

Perhaps he should be taking the test as well.

Is he planning on also having a full body scan to see where his brain went?

Some people did try to find empathy for him after reading the story.

Is he? It actually sounds like he might be poorly processing the trauma of a global pandemic by trying to take control of any aspect of his life that might be touched by illness or poor health. He doesn’t sound like a sociopath to me he, he sounds anxious and fretting

While others suggested that this was his elaborate way to remove himself out of the relationship.

Is he just looking for an excuse to end this?
