The dignosis of MS has made me unsure about relationships. It is difficult to expect anyone to take on the uncertainty of how this illness may affect day to day living. However, I am determined to be posibive and keep an open mind..
Well this is something I have already experienced. He broke up with me the moment I told him about my MS. It is very difficult as I understand for someone to deal with such an unsecure illness. I’m keeping on hoping though, someone will consider more than MS on me.
If you have an understanding partner then both of you go through it together.I had an understanding wife who brought me through it unfortuneately she passed away. Don,t let people get you down because they don,t understand whats happening to you.Chin up and love life.
I think most people need some encouragement in order to hang on mainly in the difficult days. Noone seems to bather though, everyone experiences -as they claim- more serious healt problems than we do!!! What I’m saying is that not only partners but also friends and even family are unable to realize what we are passing through with all the unsertainty. Which is the proper and descent way (cause there are many times I’ve come to my limits, needing to scream) to keep people around and close when they do not understand what we are passing through? desch
My relationship has deepened with my partner over the last couple of weeks. he is my strength and motivator when i am really down in the dumps. Although he still doesnt know how to lift me up (physically speaking) I am concerned he is going to hurt is back. We try to laugh at things esp when i am being pushed around in a wheelchair. I do worry at times that he will get fed up of caring for me. I try and look my best whenever i can,but he says he loves me regardless. i guess i am very lucky to have him. Anyone that runs off because of any disability etc must be scared or just down right heartless. I have also found that we have had to approach sex from a different angle. anyway take care
