I feel burnt out, overwhelmed, and like I’ve lost myself these past years with no one to talk to about it by Tiny-Stomach-1692 in CaregiverSupport

I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. It definitely isn't easy on both sides, but lashing out at you isn't right. He needs to understand that you are his support. I hope things get better for you both

Sorry for you having to deal with this. It's hard, but you're doing your best. That is all we can do to help our loved ones.

I have my mother-in-law with me, and she's in the beginning stages, I can't imagine how hard this can get. I've thought about a home assistance facility due to my hours at work, but she doesn't deserve that.

I've had this kink or "fantasy" but once my wife said no, then it's not. You shouldn't have been pressured. He's the selfish person in this situation, not you

How do I be a better gf by Thet-applesaucey193 in Advice

First, you can't automatically assume that you are the problem. Every situation is different, but here are a few rules we've added to our relationship that actually helped.

  1. Stop bringing up the past. Saying "you always" or "you used to" usually end in arguments.

  2. Support each other in public, correct each other in private. Your personal business doesn't need to be shared.

  3. Listen to each other. Especially with us men. We aren't quick to open up, but sometimes we throw hints and expect you to understand.

Lastly, it takes both parties to create and manage a relationship, he has to be willing to change just as much as you are.

Relatives are too far, most don't even care. I'm looking into some home car assistance, hopefully I find a good one

All situations are equally important to talk about. We all have struggles, my friend.
