I am not sure where to go with this. My partner has really struggled with my diagnosis, no longer feels attracted to me and while they want to stay together they are clearly emotionally and sexually checked out.

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.

Has anyone else been feeling a significant loss of confidence, constantly questioning their relationship, their purpose in life, and what the future might hold?

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...
