My husband is only 36 but he's been dignosed a heart failure last year. According to him, he was born with a heart defect but he said he was fully cured with a surgery at age 2.
Honestly, I didn't expect him to be my husband because It wasn't a love...it was like a "like"
But anyway, our marriage has been over 8 years so far.
He had a ICD implant last year Dec and every month, he sees multiple doctors. He looks ok but he's easy to be tired and easy to be drowsy.
He's been unable to work for 9 months...
We have no baby because I'm still believing he doesn't want...
I'm again starting to be uneasy for what our future is, financially and our sexual life too.
I'm not a big fan of intimate relationship but there's no kiss and no relationship for over 9 months since he diagnosed. Once, he wanted and tried but he was very different. No functional.
Right now, his healthy heart is more important but I don't know if he keeps unfunctioned.
He has 3 medications to take and dr said maybe it's one of reason but he may take in a lifetime.
I just want to be loved .l mean I want to feel loved but I feel like I'm working in a hospital...
I feel lonely and tired...but you know usually patient is always first. I got stress up but I have to stand for him...
He basically looks fine. He has an appetite and what he does is watching tv and napping and sleeping but he can't walk over 2 miles.
If he just stay doing nothing, he looks healthy.
But if he tries to take out a trash or doing dishes, he looks tired.
He just gives me a light kiss every day and hug...
I feel like I'm living with an old man....
I'm actually exhausted of taking care of ill person...
I had an ill mom and ill grand mom...I all took care of them....when I was 22
Is anyone living with a sick husband like me?
why my life is all about taking care of illness....
I was an only daughter who feels lonely always...
I feel sympathy of him but I feel not blessed to my life....
I didn't tell here but I feel like I sacrificed my money and my life for him even before he got sick....
Anyway, Doc says he gets a heart valve replacement and maybe a heart transplant too...
My dream was always to have kids and have a real family but I have a very much regret to get married him......yes, it's too late....
I'm sorry for husband but I don't feel love and never been....just like relationship....
I have a pity and sympathy of him so I will take care of him as much as I can but if he's going to be weak man...I may want to get away.......
