Members rallied around someone who decided to stop seeking a relationship due to chronic pain and medical challenges, with many affirming that the right partner often appears unexpectedly rather than through active searching. The conversation took a supportive turn when the original poster shared a distressing past experience with controlling and threatening behavior, prompting the community to validate her decision to leave and emphasize that no one deserves to be treated poorly. Throughout the thread, members also offered practical health advice during a period of illness and lockdown, checked in on an upcoming surgery for her dog, and reinforced the message that chronic illness survivors are strong and deserving of respect.

That was definitely a toxic relationship! I’m sorry you had to go through that! Glad you had the good sense to get out of it. Both my husband and I were became disabled at the same time, and he was a trooper while I spent three years in bed and another two in a wheelchair,,, but he has fallen a few times since then and needs to put his health ahead of taking care of me, as I can not continue to be his caregiver and care for myself anymore!

Bernie, maybe if you stop “looking”, one will cross your path unexpectedly. I know it sounds cliche, but that is how I ran into my husband. When we went on our fist date we found out that we had run at the same track meet in 1977! Then we found out that our paths had almost crossed several other times! It was all in God’s time.

Blessings

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member, how did you and Tillie make out at the neurologist appointment yesterday? Did they allow you to go in the office or did you have to wait in he car? We had to take our parrot to the vet and were not allowed inside. We had to drop him off and come back when they called. My husband was a nervous wreck!
