Partner won’t do anything

Hi,

my partner won't do anything for himself.


he has colorectal cancer, is mid way through radiation and chemo and he's running me ragged.its not a terminal diagnosis and had we not had to self isolate I know for a fact he'd still be working full time.I feel bad for even thinking this let alone writing it down but I'm getting sick of him. There's no affection really, when there is it feels forced so yeah I feel like a house maid. Only I don't get paid and since he's the only one getting a wage through this virus I also have to ask him for money to buy food. I have tell him about every penny 

i feel trapped, lonely and have increasing feelings of anger not towards him per se but definitely at the situation. There's no counselling to get because of corona and honestly if I didn't think it would kill him I'd go out and get it on purpose just to get away. 
im so lonley. And I'm sick of it all. I feel like he's so lazy and completely ignorant to what I do. He's a child. It drives me round the bend. I'm starting to hate myself for how I feel about him. 

  • Hello Gemma.

    And after all that you still want to marry him?

    Best of luck

  • Hi Gemma 

    All he wants is a maid to fetch and carry for him. Unless his attitude towards you changes you'll be like this the rest of your marriage if you go through with the next one, i can't see you wanting that. After virus has gone get away. Start again any family you can stay with for a while. Till your sorted out.. Good luck and best wishes for the future.

  • Hi there ...

    So sorry , your having such a hard time right now ... but on the flip side, if he is half way through chemo and radiotherapy for colorectal cancer... then I can totally understand why he's feeling wacked out .. there's lots on here can do nothing when their treatment is mid flow .. maybe he had enough energy to get to the toilet and then had to ask you for a drink ... 

    You have your own problems too .. and on top of both your situations there's a lock down from carona virus... so there's no getting away from each other too .. 

    After this lock down does end, I hope you both think very carefully about getting married ... it sounds like your both pulling appart instead of holding each other up ... that is no grounds for a life as a married couple , with vows like in sickness and in health ... it sounds like it's too far gone, to repair .. plus you sound unhappy about the move there ... 

    If it were me, I'd hold on, for now, phone his oncology team after Easter... and tell them you are not coping and need help .. for both your sake ...Chrissie.. .....
