Have you ever been so sick that not even your own partner is fed up with helping you get better ?😪

Hi everybody. This is my story...
At the begging of July month I became seriously sick. For NO reason? I even tested for COVID 19 and I am COVID free. Doctors said I had a viral infection, but I struggled to eat and drink aby fluids- it was a nightmare!
My partner was there to help me - but recently he gets upset to help me do aby simple normal things... I am still struggling to do the simple stuff, but getting there. I feel his had enough and wants out and just doesn't know how to leave.
I feel alone, sad, taking freeking long to get better and I'm slowly giving up...

I'm sorry. My marriage fell apart partly due to my health issues. He yelled at me about being sick all the time, and frankly, I was relieved to see him go. Breakups due to health problems are a lot more common than you probably realize.

I knew a woman who had cancer and her husband wouldn’t even drive her to appointments for treatments. Her daughters had to do it. When she got stronger she divorced him.

Don't give up. You can do this.

Here's the way the majority of guys work when it comes to being sick:

When you are sick, they can only help so much. They are good for a day or two but I think that's about their limit. Actually, they don't even really know how to help and sometimes they make it worse because you just get so frustrated.

When they are sick, they need you to hold their hand and cry with them for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If they cough, they must be dying and they need you to feel sorry for them and take them to the hospital.

@Jenny1234 This is so true I couldn't even laugh.

Jenny1234 is correct. Guys are not good nurses. They usually can't handle it. I can remember having to ask for water. They just don't think of caring nurturing things to do.

There is a woman on this site who was desperately ill, with some type of cancer, and she was supported mentally by her husband, but I don't think he was her nursemaid. It has been about three years, for her.

Patience. I hope you feel better.

I feel sick too. When i could not go and said I could come later she blocked me. Without asking any reason.
