When couples struggle to find balance after a disability diagnosis

My partner was diagnosed with MS two years ago and we've gotten into this pattern where I anticipate their needs before they ask and they've started pulling away from me, saying I treat them like they're fragile, but I'm terrified of doing too little. We love each other but we're both walking on eggshells and I don't know how to find our way back to just being us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love is being renegotiated around new realities of embodiment, and both people are afraid of getting care wrong.
