Considering a Mobility Aid: My Partner's Reaction

No it absolutely does come from a place of hatred. Your partner does not have your best interests in mind, only their own. You are NOT going to get better as you get older, idk who told them that since old people are not known for being the pinnacle of health. Use whatever mobility aid you need to. Tell him he can either adapt or get out. For reference, my partner was essentially given the same ultimatum early on in our relationship when I was suddenly rendered wheelchair-bound, and we just celebrated our 4th anniversary. He's stuck through it, bought every single medication, paid for every appointment, and adapted with me when a new challenge came up. THAT'S how a loving partner behaves. They don't shoot down anything that might bring you more comfort and independence because they're "uncomfortable" with it. I'm begging you to please reconsider your relationship with someone who is so openly opposed to a core part of your being

No offense, but if your partner is worried about how you will look vs what’s actually helping you feel better then sis he isn’t the one!! He should be supportive of anything/everything that could potentially let you have a better quality of life!!! Don’t trick yourself into thinking something wouldn’t work for you for the benefit of someone else. Do what’s best for you and what feels right for your body!
