This topic is so amazing to talk about and thank you so much for covering it. For me and my partner I think he was not ready for the amount of changes our whole lifestyle needed to take for me to be successful after surgery. He didn't realize he would also need to do some work with his own self and sadly we did not make it past the 1.5 year mark post op. I do feel if both of us were willing to put in the work internally we could have moved to a much more stable and enjoyable relationship. 😊
Such a great topic. Intimate (romantic) relationships or simply friendships will change...we, inside and out, change after surgery, but it does not have to mean relationships are doomed for failure. We start taking health more seriously, as well as taking serious account of what relationships in our lives support and lift us up. Those that don't, in my opinion, need to be kept at a distance or removed.
