My thought was - if you can banish the notion of your W as a patient, as a woman with MS, and think of her only as a woman you are attracted to for x reasons, you might be able to change something in your interaction. Putting myself in her shoes, I would want a husband, not a caretaker. Yes, a husband should be supportive and caring, but if you get locked in the roles of patient and caretaker, it can become quite unbalanced.
Hey Painter,
First, I haven’t been on the board much this past week or so, I’m sorry if it seems like a life-time ago that I checked in with you. I hope to later. Bad Bob! LOL
Wow...just...wow. You are REALLY on to something here. I have to get back to work now, I had just enough time to get to a few people and noticed some posts in my thread.
I will think about this long and hard. Maybe my IC can help.
God bless you, Painter!
*Hugs*
Bob
