@A MyChronicPainTeam Member, no he’s not Archie Bunker Bad but he doesn’t like spending money on a service I think. And he did grow up in a very old fashioned family where his Mother did do all the daily chores while the men did all the outdoor chores. He had a previous marriage and she died from bulimia and liver cancer. So I’m not sure who cleaned in that relationship. It’s confusing and I’m beginning to think he doesn’t love me like he says. He does do the shopping and the cooking but hardly ever cleans up after himself. I ask for help from my doctor and apparently these services exist but you have to pay for them. I guess I’ll just be cleaning and killing my self doing it! 😖

We get one supplied by the government to come and do lundary, dishes and basic cleaning (clean the bathroom).

I thought I added you already. Your situation sounds like he just doesn't get it , you have one good day and you then get " you did it last week " so why not now. Take care on your journey with chronic pain

Have you tried adult services to see if you qualify for one free? Advertise that you are on a fixed income and need compassionate, cleaning person 2times a month. Or barter wit a family member...make them dinner for the day they spen cleaning for you. Prayers for you!

I just got rid of my boyfriend because he didnt get it. Kept calling me lazy, using my pain as an excuse, he was just bringing me further down. I am a firm believer that you don't know what it's like until you walk in someones shoes.
