@robinbatko While I bitch and moan about my chronic pain I’ve only had it since my mid/late sixties. It’s horrible that you’ve suffered since your twenties! Being single, I’ve never thought about having a loved one living with you while you suffer. I believe you are correct…it’s better to suffer alone than having a person who loves you watch you in pain every day!

@barbarav1 My boyfriend of 3 years broke up with me because he could no longer cope with seeing me in so much pain and not being able to help me do anything about it. We had so much fun together - traveling, going out to dinner or just laying low watching a movie. Doing things with him helped distract me from the pain. He could no longer handle it when I would have to cancel plans because I was in too much pain. I understand but I still miss him at times.
