The thing is: he gives me various tips to help me move more correctly: less balance stress, etc. I don't know quite how to tell him how exhausting it is to try to keep his advice in mind as i actually move about at an actual task.

He gave me 4 different considerations last weekend. I've got to get him to understand i can't do all that stuff at once.

Maybe add to PT exercises to be done on off days?

Members connected with the experience of having a well-meaning partner offer too much physical advice at once, making an already exhausting situation feel even harder to manage. Several members emphasized that open, honest communication is key, encouraging the original poster to kindly but clearly express when suggestions feel overwhelming, and noting that inviting a partner to medical or PT appointments can help them better understand the condition. A recurring theme was the emotional weight of masking limitations for years, with many offering warm encouragement to let go of people-pleasing and advocate for personal needs within loving relationships.

@A MyMSTeam Member I don't believe your old fashioned, or maybe I am too. I do the things my husband can't and he does the things I can't. If neither of us can do it, it usually doesn't get done.. @Theolegal talk to your fiancé. Let him know you appreciate his ideas but so many can be overwhelming. You need to be able to discuss these things before you get married. Communication is very important

You need to tell him to research your condition before trying to help.I think this is a major problem with family or close relationships.They need to read up before commencing guidance .I find this frustrating as do many others.You run the risk that he will start to think you are lazy as you can't achieve what he is saying.Get this out in the open.
