Coping with Chronic Illness: How to Help Your Loved Ones Understand

@Piper2022 I think it depends on what kind of tasks you enjoy. My mother is my primary caretake with my illness even though I'm not a minor anymore. I make meals/snacks when she's busier or I clean something at my own pace if she hasn't gotten to it. There are little ways to show you are caring for someone that is caring for you. That being said, I'm not sure I like the idea that your husband thinks you need to push through it. That way of thinking negates how much work you put up in deal with your illness and can actually make things worse if you are neglecting yourself and ignoring your needs. Please message me if you need some support.

@Tick exactly!!! my partner sometimes gets a little frustrated but then always realizes it’s not fair for him to be frustrated. we are a team- we have to work together not against each other!!
