Does anyone else have a chronic illness with pain and in a loving relationship but constantly feeling like your a pain to them or annoying? I’ve got bad endometriosis in daily pain worse around my period and chronic fatigue. I’ve coped on my own for a long time but since being with him he can be a massive help eg grabbing my sick bucket filling my hot water bottle and picking me up from work when I can’t manage the 40 minutes walk. He does these things and more all with out asking he’s also listened to me cry in pain while rubbing my back. I feel like I hold him back with things we do worry I’m annoying him he says the complete opposite but I’m often holding back the level of pain I’m in so he dosnt feel he needs to help. Today we had to cut a walk short and last week I was sick in a hedge on a cycle ride. I’m also doing lots of stuff to help seeing doctors constantly paying for private specialist if I hear or see something that might help I try it.
