If doctors do not understand what is wrong with us, how do you expect our spouse? I didn’t get married until 2019. When we dated, I was already working for the school, and he saw first hand how my body reacted to stress.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!He was learning first hand, that I was fighting an illness I no control of. We were married for a year, until my health forced me to quit my job. The first month or so, I slept non-stop. My body was so tired, that I didn’t do anything. No household chores, no laundry, no cooking. It took a toll since my husband was buying fast food for my son and himself to eat for dinner. It was already bad, that my husband was the only provider, and was totally dependent on him. Even with my expenses that carried over, when we got married.
I was raised that two people get married and both work 100% towards the family structure. I got married, to become totally dependent on my new husband. Talk about a test of faith in our marriage. Communication helped. He saw the depression, the outburst of emotions, the complete helpless of me fighting this sickness.
I was so focused on making a living, my body forced me to rest. As much as I ignored the signs, I had to learn to accept what is, and change to live a life that was manageable. Took me two years, to learn my limits, and make new habits. When I listen to my body, I’m able to do more without being forced to quit. I’m thankful my husband, has been so supportive and wants to learn my limits as much as I do.
