My (26m) partner (27f) has been dealing with a lot of health issues lately. She’s known about a hypothyroid condition for a while, and has also had a couple back surgeries over the last 2 years. Recently, she’s been dealing with chronic, debilitating pain. Turns out she has Hashimoto’s and maybe other autoimmune problems. This becomes a caregiving issue because her chronic pain is back related and thus is mostly wheelchair bound if going outside her apartment. She used to be able to walk and work out regularly. I really, really miss being able to be active with her (I coach running and train for marathons, so physical activity is a big part of my life). I constantly feel like garbage for mourning the freedom we used to have and the dates we used to be able to go on. I desperately want to go out and do fun summertime things, but it’s a struggle to do anything outside either of our apartments because of the wheelchair. (We don’t live together). She’s working her butt off to try to heal and get better, and always tells me that it’s a short term thing. At the same time, she also talks about using her chair at a football game we’re going to at the end of August. Which should be nice, but I took her there for a massive concert recently and the stadium is an ADA nightmare. It just seems like this will never end, and I miss the way things were so badly. Am I a bad person for feeling this way? I’m going to keep helping her, I just feel lonelier and sadder by the day. If you have any advice or encouragement, please drop it in the comments. Thank you
