Being my disabled fiancé's carer and also the homemaker. I somtimes feel like I don't do enough, yet I feel stressed.
Hello. I'm new here. I'm glad I found this subreddit online since I agree with the idea of it.
Well. I've(25F) have been with my fiancé(26M) for 6 years now. We got engaged 1 year ago, and ever since we've been living in an apartment which he pays the rent of.
My fiancé is a C4 quadriplegic, so he has limited mobility with his arms, and lacks independence for doing many basic things such as going to the bathroom, showeing, going to bed, and other things.
He fortunately works at home as a developer and he earns enough money for a good living. I stopped working since he had his accident which left him quadriplegic, so I could take care of him.
Life is now pretty much somewhat better for him, he's recovered emotionally from his injury. I stay at home with him all the time to make food for him, clean the house, and other chores. Though it feels tiring doing this and having to take care of my fiancé's needs. I love him, so I do these things for him, and I wouldn't really like a caretaker being with him all the time.
I would like to have children in the future, but right now I feel exhausted, specially these years after his injury in which I've had to help him around.
