Since you became sick, have you and your significant other, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, etc., become closer because of it, or has it just added to the stress and driven you apart? Or are there days that he is wonderful, and days that he's a total jackass?
Are you divorced now since being sick, alone, or with someone new because of it?
Interesting for me to be asking this question, since I really don't know my own answer. I think that generally, we are closer, because he worries about me, but he has days where he's such a jerk, but I think it's because he wants his old wife back. And somedays, he can be the sweetest man in the world, and take care of me all day. It's like two different men.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Good ? my fellow insomniac
It changed, oh boy, did it change. He and my girlfriend GOT TOGETHER in a royal ass way. On my way to the attorney's office, he called.
So, now, when he gets in one of his jerky moods, I just say "Come on bubble butt, you want to fight, I will fight with you! (words only, of course" ) Since, he knows and I know he has no butt to speak of (lost out there, huh?) then HE KNOWS I've had enough, but, if he cares to continue, I'll sock it right to him.
Most of the time, these past two years, he's been good, but, then we are all human and he has his moments. Like when I have the Air Conditioning going and a window slightly open- I have to have fresh air - well, he blows a gasket or two, but then it's over.
I try not to be to disappointed when he shows his Jeckel/Hyde personalities...I have mine too. I do wish he understood the powers of his words , he can say things that I cannot get out of my head..like the day he said "you have aged 20 yrs in the last three yrs."
Like me , he had two disaterous marriages befor we met ,and he is not as "huggy-kissy" as I am...and I do wish he would show his affection more often.We have only been married 4 yrs , this next March , and have known each other for 5 1/2 yrs , so he has seen me decline rapidly.
I am not able to work , and although he doesn't say so , I know he resents that.
We give each other unconditional love and take our marriage vows are "till death us do part" seriously...although I'm still not convinced we'll part in death either. I'm not saying he's perfect but he's pretty darned near. His highly sarcastic and almost hurtful natural stops him from being perfect! LOL
To be totally honest I doubt that anyone would want me with my health issues. I am no catch, poor, and I just don't see anyone wanting to deal with my illness.
Who would want to date me? A woman with fibro... (Broken)
I can't believe I think this way! Man, am I down on myself or what! Sorry.
