I've been with my boyfriend for about 11 years. He has Degenerative disk disease, which causes him a great amount of pain. I can't ease good pain, but honestly, dealing with his pain day in and day out is exhausting. Especially lately because I've been dealing with some pain myself. I can't ease his pain, and he's been very irritable. I get he's in a tremendous amount of pain, consistently for years. His pain is legitimate, but I'm exhausted. Both physically and mentally. If there are any spouses out there that are with someone in pain, or a long term medical issue, how do you deal? I've been so tired, and I don't want to resent him, but I feel like I'm starting to. I want to stay with him, I live him, I'm just exhausted, and feel guilty for feeling so. I'd appreciate any tips. Thank you!
