Hi Ctflor

This is a tricky one isn't it - because it goes to the basis of the WAS need for "freedom" and "independence". You don't want him thinking of you as a "dependent" and you want him to be your H, not your carer.

I wonder if you could explore any new ways for finding your independence regardless of your illness? Are there community support services available you could take advantage of? Groups of people with your illness who you could join?

All your suggestions are good ones (that you should implement immediately) - but it would probably be good for both of you if you could find ways to get out of the house, and on with your life, that doesn't give him an extra obligation.

Think laterally. Talk to your Dr or the MS support group in your local area ... I'm sure there are lots of options that will give you more GAL options, show your H that you love him, but you don't "need" him and importantly, expand your life and provide you more interests.

Take care, V
