Hi all,
I'm new to this board...just signed up as I can't take what's going on in my own head any longer. I'm a lesbian in a 20 yr relationship, I'm 46 years old. I'm a professional working for myself, which is not good right now because I don't have the energy to push myself. My partner was diagnose with cirrhoses in 2001 and she's pretty ill but stable. That completely changed our lives. I'm not sure that I can keep going with things the way they are. I feel trapped because I want a FULL life and she can't give it to me anymore. It's not really her fault but she has been changed by this illness. We are little more than roommates which is a tough thing to say after 20 years.
I don't have that many friends and my family lives thousands of miles away. Most of my friends just pity me anyway. I'm tired of self-pity too. I need things to change.
I've made some new friends online but I just don't trust my judgement anymore. I feel like I'm grasping for straws as a way out of my situation. One person says that she cares for me but most of the time I doubt that.
I am a horrible person for wanting to leave someone who is so sick. I have no idea how much longer she will live. It could be many years or not. I keep thinking back to how I felt when she was first diagnosed and I was devistated ... now I don't want to be around. I just can't deal anymore.
