sex and cirrhosis
So I’m 31 (f) and my partner is 29 and she has cirrhosis and was diagnosed w liver cancer about 2 months ago. We have been together 4 years and she has had cirrhosis this entire time. My question is, what can i do to be a better partner to her? We havent had sex in over a year, and i understand that she just has like 0 libido and is constantly exhausted- so why would she want to have sex? I get it, but also as a 31 year old whos always had an active sex drive, i’m struggling. Its beyond sex and more like missing feeling desired by someone, but i dont want her to feel bad when i know shes literally so tired she just doesnt even think about it. Can anyone just kindly offer insight to how i can better support her, or bring up sex without making her feel bad? I’m scared this sounds superficial but i am a very physical touch person and intimacy (even beyond just sex) is really important to me in feeling loved. i think feeling desired by her is more important than sex itself. Now im rambling bc im nervous to post this. okay. here goes.
