[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does he want?[/quote] To do exactly what he's doing now and for me to like it, not just accept it.[/quote] I'm this person in my marriage, and it's because I have to manage my activity level and physical strain pretty carefully or I pay a price for it the next day. You're asking him to give you a lot more of his energy, and you need to recognize that it will come at a cost for him even though it doesn't for you. For example if I go on a long hike with my husband, I know I will have a flare-up of nerve pain and it will bother me for a week. I'm willing to do it sometimes, but sometimes not, if I don't feel like I can handle the consequences without other problems arising. I think your willingness to carefully titrate his energy usage and to accept that he needs recovery time will help you. [/quote]
