Relationships

Hey everyone, I have a question. Has anyone on here experienced the breakdown of a relationship due primarily to ms and the changes it causes to the relationship and how have they coped with it?

Hi, I'm new here. Just pondering the with some thoughts. Is it even possible to be get in a relationship after you get diagnosed. I feel like really won't be able to find anyone because I'd be coming with all this baggage from my health and I would hate to leave that with someone else.

Young-ish relationships?

I have been in a relationship with my partner for 9 years, we were together for about 1.5 years when the MS hit bad, he stuck through it, not without upset, but here we are 9 years later, when we get into arguments it always reverts back to “I stuck with you through your illness” which I take on bo...

Marriage / relationships and MS

Hi there! Is anyone else struggling with your relationships after the diagnosis? I personally feel that Ms changed me a lot and my wife seems to miss the person I was… and that I will never be again. Also, sometimes I feel “flat” like my emotions are not fully out, I think Ms changed that too. Very...

MS and relationships.

Since diagnosis, things are progressively getting worse, such as my cognitive function, speech, tiredness, and pain. My memory is terrible now to the point where I am repeating my sentences over and over again, and ...

Change in relationships

Ever since diagnosis I have found that my nearest and dearest try to take advantage of my difficulties. My husband tries to take advantage of my poor memory. I had a massive argument with my mother, and I have argued with a friend for my husbands sake. I feel like I don’t want to suffer fools gladly...
