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...

So has anyone lost a relationship through MS. Yes other factors make up the overall outcome. But the relationship was started without MS put it that way.
