Sounds like something that could use some counseling...if not for both than maybe just for you to know how to deal with him...knowing that you can never really change anyone. While it is useless to turn this into a "blame game" it is important to remember that everyone comes with baggage. No one, by the time we enter into serious relationships, doesn't have a scar or two. I may be fortunate in that my husband was Dx with UC years before I was with MS. His mother died of colon cancer when he was 18 months old so that hit him pretty hard but I had no history with any digestive issues so I just said, ok, that doesn't sound so bad...what should you/we do? Thankfully he has largely managed the course of the disease by following a strict diet and reducing stress. I encouraged him to quit his stressful job and instead apply himself to fixing up our old house for sale and plan, design and then be very involved in the building and finishing of our current home. The amount he contributed to that in a large way replaced the salary he would have earned but put me out there as the lone breadwinner in a stressful job which also isn't good with the MS I was subsequently diagnosed with. But-yes the arguments can turn back to medical conditions which really isn't fair or right but, how it is. As my husband has largely managed his auto-immune disease via diet and exercise he still has the conviction that I should be able to as well. He used to propose at least a cure a week that I had to investigate and review with my Dr or nurse...it was exhausting. As his dietary changes have a relatively quick impact on his digestive system he also thinks that what I do today could impact my MS tomorrow...ughhh...Now I send him research showing him that the top two impacters on MS are stress (him included) and sleep (which he can also impact) and those are two things that I need help managing...once they are under control then I will move to diet and exercise...which can play into the first two. I suspect that the MS impact on relationships is a biggie...don't see how it can't be or at some point won't be...good luck! funny that the neuro never asks about that either...

blether89 , it isn't easy maintaining a relationship after the "honeymoon period". Throw MS into the mix as well and it complicates everything. You need to have a serious talk with your partner regarding the future and whether you are both committed to it. What are your aspirations and are these compatible between you, do you both want the same things? It may be that the current environment of lockdown has just frustrated both of you. Partner abuse has increased under these conditions. Communicating is so important, so get these channels open between you. Join forces and workout how you're going to get through these extraordinary times.
