Boyfriend with CRPS broke up with me
I am looking for advice.
About 3 months ago, my boyfriend broke up with me because he doesn't want to be a burden on me, and is not sure how long he will be able to continue working. He has had CRPS for 4 years, since a military injury, and we were dating for wonderful year.
He is 45 and I am 40. We were talking about getting married and having children. I have had a successful career, and truly feel that between what I have saved and my current career, we could be okay financially, even with children. His current medical care is from the VA and he has a disability pension, but is currently working a good job.
He is very responsible, and was a single dad that raised a son, so he is very practical about what responsibilities a family would mean.
We got back in touch recently, and he still feels the same way about me, and hasn't started dating anyone else. Am I naïve to think that we can work through this as a team?
Your honest advice, either as someone with CRPS or as a spouse to someone with CRPS is really appreciated.
