My partner and I are wanting to move in together, yet we have had some difficult reactions from my partners friends/family.
They start by saying to her, "I love *me*, nothing against *me*" then just say they are worried about her financially supporting me and she needs to "protect herself" or "he's very unwell" and are worried about her caring for me.
My partner was pushed to tears by the comments as no one was offering up any solutions or offering their support just catastrophising their concerns.
It basically feels like people are saying: "I'm great but disabled". I understand no one dreams of our reality but we have built a good relationship and everyone has known I was disabled from the start.
Does anyone have advice for what to do, what we should say to people? I feel very stuck now as my partner has told me what people have said to her so It will be awkward the next time I see them.
Thank you!
