how do i stop feeling guilt towards my partner
i’m severely anemic and sometimes can’t get out of bed because of the fatigue, this has been going on for years (though only being this bad for a few months) and it will take months until any treatment might work. i have an incredible partner that has been with me for almost two years, he loves taking care of me and is very understanding of my condition, the problem is others aren’t. they still expect me to do everything a normal person does and when i can’t that responsibility is shifted onto him (cooking, cleaning that type of stuff) and recently i’ve found he wants to do fun activities with me that i just don’t have the capacity for, he tells me it’s okay but i can see it saddens him when i reject things so many times.
i just don’t know how to deal with this guilt that he deserves a whole person who can do all these things with him and he doesn’t need to take extra care of. we’re also quite young (19/20) so this responsibility of him having to take care of basically another person feels so unfair to him.
ps i don’t know if im allowed to post here since anemia is treatable and will likely be gone next year but i feel completely disabled right now
