Just wondering how many others out there have had problems with relationships because of being in a caregiver role or privileging the caregiver role over other aspects of the relationship.
For instance, have you ever felt that you have to stick with a partner who is supportive when it comes to Crohn's, but really mismatch in other areas of the relationship, just because nobody else would tolerate/help you out with dealing with your disease?
I've seen posts from people upset about a lack of support from a partner, but I don't recall having seen much from this perspective.
Sickie (who just ended a relationship with someone who was a fantastic support for all things Crohn's, but more of a platonic roommate than romantic partner).
PS -- Anyone else think that the "question" icon thing looks like a little guy with a feather in his turban?
