Healthy Relationships Support Group
No relationship is perfect. A long-term relationship requires constant effort to understand each other, fix misunderstandings, solve problems and continue to grow as both individuals change and evolve. How we deal with our misunderstandings is the focus of this community. Join us to find support, get advice, and share your experience with your relationship.
Hello... I’m in a new relationship with an amazing man who has cystic fibrosis. He is sick right now and is pushing me further and further away. Our relationship is still very new and I don’t know how to handle it. Part of me wants to walk away… But I don’t think I can . I don’t fully know how to support him and from what we have discussed he doesn’t know how to support me either. My caring nature just can’t sit back and watch him suffer… But his care is different. I’m scared and just need some advice. Anyone going through something like this... if so please help!?

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
For my psycho nickel, the hardest part of love is watching people I love suffer and accepting that I am helpless to rescue them. Who made up these fucking rules, anyway?
I shoot for being close enough to hear them if they call, but far enough to give them room to find their own coping mechanisms, along with lots of votes of confidence that they can find those coping mechanisms. Finding that balance is ALLOT easier said than done. It is even harder to keep that balance on the rare occasions that I find ^it^. I lean on my peer support network for finding and keeping that balance.
Hope you find lots of gentle support here to help you navigate the challenges, whichever way they evolve for you.
My landlord/roomies niece has cystic fibrosis as well
Right now if he's sick he needs to concentrate on his wellbeing.....
I'm sure that you know there's no cure for this illness and he needs to just take care of him in order to be stable again
This is a very serious disease..... I would look up a Cystic Fibrosis Assoc and seek support for loved ones
It does suck for sure when things are out of our control like this and I am so sorry that your boyfriend is sick
Gentle hug and a blessing......xo
Here's one assoc in the US and they will be all over ...... Seeking support for yourself is really important and as best you can I think living for today is important
I hope that one day really soon a cure will be found..... xo
