Husband needs a double hip replacement at 36. Help me contain my emotions

Originally posted in my mom support group but it was removed for not being related to parenting, even though this has everything to do with our ability to parent. I just need to talk to someone please….

I feel rage. I feel disappointment. I feel frustration. I feel immensely sad. I feel empathetic. Jesus fuck I feel so many things right now. I just want to scream and sob.

He’s 36, we have two kids (7 and 4), and he’s taken so little care of himself that his hip joints are rotting in his body. For years I’ve asked him to cut down on the beer. For years I’ve begged him to quit smoking. To address his skin issues so he can get off prednisone.

Now it’s all coming back to bite him us in the ass, and I am so. fucking. angry. I want to slap him upside the head and scream I TOLD YOU SO!

FIVE years he has had debilitating hip pain. FIVE. FUCKING. YEARS. And he’s let it go and let it go and let it go.

SEVEN FUCKING YEARS he’s been on prednisone, despite every doctor he’s ever talked to about it being like OMG WE HAVE TO GET YOU OFF THAT. It provides small, temporary relief for his skin condition so he just stays on it because he’s so overwhelmed by the process of finding a new medication, injection, treatment, whatever.

36 years old and he can’t keep up with our kids. And now he body is literally falling apart. He’s going to need one hip replacement, three months off, then another one six months to a year down the line with another three months off. Time we literally cannot afford.

I want to rage. I want to shake him. But he needs support. He’s terrified. He’s disappointed in himself. He’s angry at himself. He needs to know that we’re in this together, even though it’s hard, even when it gets harder. Help me sort out my feelings so that I can do that. Tell me it’s going to be okay even when it’s hard.

I’m so grateful it’s his hips and he didn’t drop dead from a stroke. Fuck.

Growing up in the 90s/00s I read popular manga like InuYasha and Chobits (which was pretty steamy for my 12 yo eyes lol). I recently reread these and was hit with a nostalgia bomb, and would love to read more mangas, graphic novels, or webcomics that center on romance with some smut.

I’m really open to any genre or style, but lately I’ve been on a sci-fi and fantasy binge. This is following a pretty heavy MF MC binge lol. I came across I Roved Out In Search Of Truth and Love, which is unhinged and mostly sex but the story did that come through was really fun.

So I guess I’m looking for some middle ground, 3-4🌶️ stories.

I like contemporary, HR, dark romance, mm, RH, everything really. A mafia graphic novel sounds like it would go hard.

Cheating is a soft no, I have come around to enjoying some stories with it if they’re well written. I love OW/OM drama as long as the MCs are all in for each other and don’t waffle about. Love a humiliated delulu OW. I’m a sucker for fated mates.

I know some graphic novels are available on KU, but I’m not sure how explicit they can get. Really open to any recommendations!
