“For me, it’s feeling like I’m a drag on my partner’s life. I have several health issues that leave me in extreme pain. I’m constantly sleep-deprived and without any energy or motivation to do anything besides lay in bed and watch TV or listen to music while cuddling with my girlfriend. Meanwhile, my girlfriend is a perfectly healthy, energetic, and full-of-life young adult who wants new experiences and doesn’t want to spend a minute more than she needs to resting.”
“I try my best to keep up, and if I can’t do a certain activity she wants to try, I actively encourage her to do whatever it is she is wanting to do — go to an amusement park, go on a road trip, go-carting, activities like that — with her friends. At the end of the day, the unavoidable truth is I am a damper on her life, and I don’t see why someone like that is willing to be in a relationship with someone like me.”
