My man has many health issues that cause him immense pain and where we live healthcare is like #47 out of 50 states so it's very crappy. His doctor gives him a week's worth of pain meds and that's it. It was difficult to find a doctor to even try to find out what was wrong with him (he's almost 24 and has had chronic pain and mental health stuff since he was 12). Most think he's lying because 'he is young and can't be in that much pain' lol so wrong. There's actually so many doctors he could sue if we had the money.

Anyways, this is what I'm asking about.

Like I said he only gets a week's worth of pain meds so he's basically a normal human being for one week out of the four. Is it wrong of me to think I should get a break in that 7 days? Every single day I cook 2 meals and rub/push on his back and basically help him in whatever way I can for sometimes up to an hour on top of working 40 hours a week.

I want to help him feel better, but sometimes I just want a break from everything. Every now and then he'll surprise me by cooking a meal a few times a week, but most the time I'm the one doing everything. During that 7 days if he could just cook I would be so happy.

I don't understand why he can't do more stuff the one week of the month that he actually isnt in pain. I'm a working wife, house wife, and a caregiver basically all at the same time and it's hard. I'm so freaking tired all of the time. I love him so much, but damn do I need some me time badly.
