I hate feeling like this it makes me feel crap...
My partner has been seriously ill (life threatening surgery in Feb 2020, week in icu, kind of ill.) for about 18 months. He is now on the mend and doing well.
My entire life has changed beyond all recognition from the life i loved 2 years ago, we haven’t been able to have a physical relationship for over 18 months and now we can safely at least try, he doesn’t seem interested (though think this is partly fear on his part...) we used to spend evenings laughing and having fun now i can’t get him away from the tv.
I know he’s been though SO much and i know he’s still recovering (and thats not been made any easier by the lockdown etc.) but i almost get the feeling he’s now used to being ill and not able to do anything, so now he’s on the mend he’s still acting like he’s very ill.
I’ve supported him through every stage of this, even helping him use the toilet and shower, am i being unreasonable to want at least a glimmer of hope that we might get part of our old relationship back?
