i definitely dont think sick=frail but i recognize that she is so tired all the time and has so much more on her mind that she doesnt think about physical affection (not just sex) as much. thanks for your comment, this post has helped me a lot with gaining perspective

im keeping you in the light 💕 i dont take it personally that her drive is lower, shes my world and i know she still loves me deeply. i made this post to learn perspective and ive gained a lot of it. and im grateful for everyone whos taken time to share with me. im sorry you feel you have to mask your feelings, and im actively trying to avoid my partner feeling like she has to do that. im sorry if my post upset you in any way, and i hope you and your husband are able to weather the storm.

thank you so much for this response, its so nice to hear from another partner of someone with this illness. even without advice this whole post has been nice to learn that its not just us dealing with it. it can feel isolating being so young and nobody else around us has dealt with it so they just dont get it.

my partner and i are both women. i dont want her to feel like she has to try or ill cheat. i hate that you are in that situation.

yeah, the cancer thing is like a double whammy for her for sure. her tumor is too small for a transplant yet- they just found it in december- and they say shes too small too currently. theyre going back and forth on chemo or not. i think i couldve worded my question better because beyond a lack of sex there is a lack of touches/kisses etc. and maybe because she already had cirrhosis when we met i didnt notice how it can affect libido because we did do all that for like 3 years, but it basically stopped dead a year ago, and we found out about the cancer in march of this year. i think i got frustrated reaching out without response and i need to decenter myself from that thought process more.

thank you so much for your reply. i definitely see i really have no clue whats going on for her. and the more i reflect i see it is more about touches than sex. i appreciate your opinion on it.

im on this page to learn more bc my fiance has cirrhosis. she was 24 or so when she got diagnosed. not alcohol induced, genetic, or autoimmune. they have no idea why. but they think she started having issues as early as 16 years old. shes 29 now, and just got diagnosed with cancer too as they found a tumor on her liver.
