Do you and your partner manage to talk openly about his symptoms?

1 I met my partner at a party through a mutual friend and fell on him (blamed it on being drunk I hadn't actually had a drop
2 the very awkward 1st date. He wanted to sit at the vet top at the cinema (I was to embarrassed to tell him) I went to pop to the loo and fell all the way down the stairs in front of every one, then had to do the walk of shame back up without falling again (he was a gentlemen and did not Laugh, but still didn't click.) I wasn't until his mum asked why I had a limp that I told him. After doing some research he told me he had wonders all along but didn't know how to ask and said that explained what all the falling over was about. If his symptoms occur he'll know how best to deal with them so just be there if he needs you, without making to much fuss. You can share this also if you feel it might help, feel free to laugh we look back on it all the time and it's still funny
