Spouse becoming less supportive?

Oh Peter - in our relationship I am the one who can not stop thinking and talking about cancer *sigh : ((( and I am starting to worry about being such way and lately I apologize to my husband when I catch myself starting conversation about it during dinner or nice walks. : ((( Of course he tells me that he does not mind that at all and that he is tremendously grateful for all that I do, but I can sense a shift in his mood, however subtle, when I mention cancer. I actually make sure that he spends some time without me since he does not need to hear "about new studies" every 5 seconds. : ((( BUT, he will not do any research himself or think about it at all, so I have to and it is really soooo soooo hard to find balance or solution for all of this nonsense and torture that PC brings into one's life : (((.

I am the same and my husband has all but asked me to shut up:) lol. I am learning to just let him be. Of course I still do the research, spend hours on forums, cook him the right foods and pray and hope for the best. God bless us all!

@surftohealth88 He's lucky to have you. And it's good that you notice his reaction if he wants to talk about anything but. On the other hand, caring so much & reading so much means that you're a wealth of helpful information - for him and for us.
