Sex and Chronic Illness
***Trigger warning***
I see too many women in chronic illness support groups saying how they feel like they have to have sex with their husbands because of THEIR needs. What about YOUR needs as a sick person? If your spouse is guilt tripping you, gaslighting you, putting you down, pressuring you, cheating on you because you are not sleeping with them when you are extremely ill, or for any reason honestly, love yourself more and do what it takes to get away and find someone who actually respects you. I'm very lucky my husband is nothing like this. It makes me so sick to see so many women falling into the narrative that men "need" sex and will leave if you don't perform. The shitty ones will but the good ones won't. Don't settle for shit.
Also, do you know what they are saying about us in their caregiver support groups? It's so disgusting my husband can't even stand being in those. These are not men you want to have in your lives.
