Xernia,

Lets add my favorite.

Well you look like I feel. You may want to go lay down for a bit.

"Well you look like I feel. You may want to go lay down for a bit."

I totally can relate to how you feel. I am not divorced yet, but its coming I am sure. We are separated.

nnnic72, I hope you can find the support you need from your partner. I don't think you should apologise. It's not a question of lack of interest or anything to do with that, it's beyond your control. Wish you the best.

Living with this monster is a "bitch" and i wish people would understand that we are not faking about how are bodies feel and we are just not up to it.

I also have issues with my wife and i think we are getting divorsed pretty soon although she tried to deal with it for last 7 years. So trust me when i say lots of others have issues.

I will pray and wish that you and ur loved one will come to an understanding and fight and overcome these hard times.

too young to be married, but i feel your pain!

my boyfriend and i are in college, i get tired way too easily, when we go to a sports game, i usually stay seated when everyone gets up to cheer and honestly, after that i don't want to go out and drink - i want to go to SLEEP

we talk about marriage, and i think if the day comes, i might tell him straight up that if my ms gets too much to handle, he can leave. if i knew he wasn't happy, i wouldn't want him to waste his life. it is extremely painful to think about, but i feel better knowing he has the option to go if he wants.

i got the idea from my grandma's friend who has ms, she has daily asststance now, but her husband stayed with her until he died, she was dx'ed young like me too, all i care about is that he is okay, i want him to choose to stay and not feel forced to as much as i fear being alone, which is a lot

My boyfriend and I had been dating and living together for over 8 years when I got Dx. I had been a Nurses Aid for years taking care of the elderly in a nursing home, many of which had MS. I knew exactly how bad it could get. One gentleman I took care of named frank had 2 masters degrees and so smart when he got Dx with MS in his 30's. 25 years later and he was bedridden. Couldn't form words, move on his own, or take care of himself besides using his electric razor everyday.
I was petrified. I was so sure my boyfriend would leave that I tried to beat him to the punch and gave him the option of leaving. I was so sure he couldn't possibly be happy too if he stayed, because its not what he signed up for. In reality it was my own fear and insecurity pushing him away. How could anyone love me like this? But he stayed, stating that leaving wasn't an option, joking that he would just get a gorgeous male nurse to give me 24 hour care if needed. I guess what I've learned from it is to not allow fear and insecurity dictate your life or the others around you. Oh and on another note, in regards to people saying I look so good when I feel miserable.... I say simply "thank you!" Because what other people really think of me... Is None of my Business. I don't need the pity or attention to feel an explanation is needed of how I really feel. The people that truly matter in my life see my struggles and understand, and that's all that matters to me.

Chao- "I guess what I've learned from it is to not allow fear and insecurity dictate your life or the others around you".

This is a good lesson to learn early on, otherwise MS owns you.
