The doctor said the caregiver needs to take time for themselves and has explained this to the partner
Dear Annie: My partner was made disabled last year and is confined to a wheelchair. At the moment, he is in the hospital and has been since last August. When he was in the spinal unit, I only saw him three days a week but would FaceTime every day. Now that he is closer to me, he wants me to be at his bedside seven days a week.
I understand that this is a massive change to his life, and that my life has to change, too, but is it wrong to want two days to myself ... ?
I was the 'bad guy.'
