People with chronic pain generally suffer associated complications in their relationships with their spouses or partners. An interestingstatistic by the National Health Interview Survey revealed that the divorce rate among chronically ill patients is more than 75 percent.
The key to all your problems is communication. That doesn’t mean you give updates to your partner about your health all the time, instead make a conscious effort to “take pain off the agenda”. You and your partner will want to spend quality time with each other, so try talking about things that make you feel good and not grumpy.
At times the anger and frustration emerges when you are in pain and don’t get the expected attention from you partner or spouse. It may be because your spouse interprets your response to pain as “exaggeration” or even “acting childish”.
