My partner was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in June of this year. We’ve been non stop since then with treatment and then operations for fractures caused by the cancer and I’m really, really struggling.
He is just so negative, about everything! I can’t seem to do or say anything right and it feels like he’s constantly belittling me. I spend almost every day in tears!
I had to give up work at the beginning to be his full time carer and only recently went back on a phased return. Unfortunately I now find myself off again as we are about to go through the stem cell transplant.
i cannot talk to him about any of it as he just gets angry or tells me to leave him etc. I’m honestly lost and feeling like perhaps the best thing I can do is leave?

We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
