My partner and I problem. She is sleeping more and more. She has fibromyalia and chronic fatigue syndrom, but it seems like our relationship
is changing. We don't talk like we used to and we don't socialize at all, due to her limitations. She teases me but NEVER requests lovemaking any more. I know that we really love one another but I am fearful for her and I. She and I are both on disability due to the fact that we are both having physical problems. Her's is permanet. Mine is temporary, I think? Have to wait and see. Financially we can't afford to leave the home. Both of us don't have the money to move. "Did I just answer my own question?". Anyway, it's killing me and I am sooo torn. I want a life. I want her in it and active. But that doesn't seem possible. I have no friends or family to get support from. Please help me. Any good advice is needed. Heartbroken and lonely.

" You answered your question. You really love each other. Do you know how many people are searching for that? Of course, if you are thinking of leaving her because she is sick, maybe you don't really love her. Think carefully about what life without her would be like.

Find a way to make it work. Counseling is a good place to start. "

" My therapist told me, if you have to ask - you already know the answer, you just don't like it and are looking for excuses.
It was hard to hear but it was true. The answer is always right there in front of you....
It's an arrangement, not a relationship. you want her to be something she isn't. ... "

" did she have these medical conditions since you have met her, or did she develop these after you's were together? "
