Did your medical condition - affect your relationships.

[Klanala]

Yes. He feels he is being blamed . I am better with PT. But I am having to change my schedule and therefore me.

[Scaredelephant in reply to Klanala]

Hi there, I will be starting PT soon and am praying it helps- can you tell me what condition you are having yours for?

[Klanala in reply to Scaredelephant]

Pelvic floor dysfunction. I have had pelvic floor pain and vulvar pain.

I have had CPP for over a year, and I'm starting a new relationship right now. I was just assuming that men would run away as soon as I told them that I can't have penetrative sex (really bad vulvodynia), but he seems unfazed! I hope it can last. It's definitely an extra motivation for me to find a solution to this problem

Hi

How enlightening to know there are men out there that will not run a mile when they get to know about our condition. It is such an intimate place to have the burden of pain and it affects so many areas of our lives. I am married to a good man who also lives with my condition (puedendal nerve pain) . I wish you well in your new relationship.

Of course - spouse is very supportive so not so much - you are limited with what you can do with no pain.

Mine affected my relationship negatively. I know there are good supportive men out there but I havent encountered any 😞. It also gave me a right complex when it comes to dating. But I'm not too fussed about boyfriends now anyway. I would love children though.

[Konagirl60]

I have accepted I’ll be single for the rest of my life.

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Konagirl60]

Why?

[Konagirl60]

Too personal. Sex isn’t possible. I’m way too injured.

[Bluelady-sing]

Sorry . But you can still be with someone

[AuntieH]

I have recently read a post somewhere that there are dating sites for people with medical issues. Might be an idea to try? 🤷‍♀️

[Skye22]

I am blessed with the most supportive husband who is not only my full time carer he is also my best friend.

Every day he finds ways to cheer me when I'm having a flare. He does all the shopping, cooking and housework, not what he expected when he retired, but he never grumbles or complains. He is just wonderful!!!! 😁

I wish I could be this lucky
