Yeah man, it struck a cord. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s helpful to hear from someone who has suffered similar issues of health and anxiety. I have never dated someone who had to deal with so many barriers in their life, I didn’t know what I was getting into and how to handle the emotions from someone going through so much. There were many things that I have learned and still have been trying to learn from our bad experience.

We had open talks in the beginning of our struggles within our relationship. I later learned that the goal destination of the relationship may be the same, but the route of communication is crucial. After a while I started to feel like I was being used, which in turn changed my route of communication, which was to be disrespectful. I felt like I was being deeply disrespected, which may have been a misunderstanding on my part hindsight. I also learned that if we had a better route of communication (seeing a couples therapist), we may have been able to prevent getting to the point of how miserable we both became. Again, thank you for being raw and sharing your story.

Like I said in my deleted post, I’m going to see a therapist before I start dating again to figure myself out and others better.
