Dealing With Your Partner's Emotions
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

How do you ladies deal with your partner's emotions towards endo?

I often get upset and frustrated when my S/O feels bad that he can't make me happy because of the endo and he feels that he can't do things because he knows he has to look after me. These things annoy me because I've never asked him to not do things or take this burden on.

Let me start off by saying I'm a realist and I tell it like it is,no sugar coating anything and I'm gonna just put it out there because I haven't had the chance to tell anyone how I was treated ....Mine was a complete asshole about it and would tell me that I still had a mouth and hands and I Better start using them more if I wanted any support from him.
He then started sleeping around with hoes and would leave me broke when he would go out of town for his personal flings with these girls and take them on fancy vacations when he would tell me he had to work. ..I left him without a dime to my name . He was the provider in the relationship and surely let that be known! I couldn't handle the abuse from this narcissist man any longer as I was dealing with enough pain as it was physically emotionally . I am struggling to survive with two kids and barely keeping food on the table and the lights on. I have no family or friends anymore. šŸ˜Ÿ. He even took his anger out on my kids by ignoring them and not letting me buy things we or they needed . I thought he loved me for the first couple years but the mask came off eventually showing his true self. All I was to him was a personal fuck toy for his own sexual desires..

At times I deal with my husband in a good way & others, itā€™s so frustrating. I know he wants to help me, but he finds information online & says ā€œthis is what you have to do!ā€ Or ā€œI think you need to do thisā€. So some of those days, I listen & take it in as heā€™s trying to help. But on the inside Iā€™m screaming.
Then other days it turns into a fight because he will say ā€œyour hurting again??!! This isnā€™t right!ā€ I try to explain to him my condition & he says that he knows. Or if we try to make plans, he will make a comment like ā€œoh are you sure we can do it?ā€ Itā€™s very frustrating!! I have yelled at him before & just told him, ā€œsometimes donā€™t say anything & just give me a hug!!ā€
I donā€™t like to be in bed or on the couch, IN PAIN!!!
The new one is maybe I should go on a liquid diet & exercise more. Ugh!!!!

My husband is somewhat supportive and sometimes I feel Iā€™m all alone. He would say take your meds and relax and ly down but sometimes I just wish I get some compassionate feelings from him, I donā€™t know. Sometimes I feel depressed and it weighs our relationship even down. We havenā€™t even made love for awhile because my condition seemed to be the reason. Either I canā€™t get in the mood or he wonā€™t be in the mood. Or I canā€™t get turned on and then Iā€™ll be in pain when we try. Anyone has the same problems or just me.

I did that to with my Ex. I gave in cause he complained all the time. And make me feel bad if I don't give him some he's gonna go get it somewhere else. That made me more Depressed. I had to leave him. I wasn't gonna put up with that. I met the most amazing man and Married him. He's ok with everything. He tells me it's not the Sex. If I'm in pain or it hurts he stops. He takes care of me with no problem. I thank God every day.

Ive been going thru same problem for two months now. I try to force myself, or to get comfortable but when it comes to it I just can't do it and eventually I start crying because I'm not able to do anything for him. It hurts so much, even I wanna be physically involved but I just can't no matter how much I try
Eventually we stopped it been few weeks now we r trying not to have it cus it hurts me more :(
