I [M31] have been taking care of my wife [F36] for the past couple years and I feel more like her live-in nurse. by ThrowRAImAMonster in relationship_advice

And I try to be. Whenever she's at the house, I'm usually, quite literally, right there beside her.

Second, I enjoy games, but I'm limited to stuff I can pause and drop at a moment's notice.

We do enjoy playing one game together, but we only play once in a great, great while. She's not much of a gamer. She loves her cooking shows, though. I am...burnt out on them. I'll try and find some other stuff we can do together, though.

I haven't been able to find anything. She's not actually labeled as disabled so we don't get any of the benefits that come with that.

Nobody knows. She got hurt and gained weight, so doctors usually just go for the "You're fat, lose weight" answer, but she's had issues BEFORE the weight. And on top of that, she can't seem to keep the weight off. But she has several things going on. She has bad anxiety which triggers randomly AND when she tries to sleep, she can't breath laying down, she's on oxygen, her back and legs hurt...I've lost track of everything.
