Firstly, what is a queerplatonic relationship, you may ask?

It is defined as a relationship that bends the norms of what is considered romantic and platonic in today’s society. They can look different depending on the individuals partaking in them, but they often (though not always) involve some sort of high level of commitment. They are often partaken by individuals who identify as aromantic (having a lack of romantic attraction) and those on that spectrum, but they are not exclusive towards them.

I’m in 7 queerplatonic relationships (with everyone’s consent). I am polyamorous. We are NOT friends, but we are NOT romantic, either. We are MORE than friends, but still not romantic. Call us queerplatonic (QP) partners, or just partners, NOT friends or romantic partners.

It always freaking sucks whenever someone calls us “friends” even though we are much more than that… /neg

Hello, The Mighty community!

I have been married to my wonderful, incredibly caring and patient husband for just over a year and we were together for two years before that.

I have chronic migraines anywhere from 2-5/week and also fibromyalgia. Both of these conditions flare up very unpredictably meaning I might have to call out of work on any given day.

The last month has been especially bad for my health and I have had to miss a lot of work and haven't been able to help out much around the house.

Though my husband is always so caring even for weeks on end of bad health. But I know that he understandably gets very stressed about the lack of income from me missing work, and ontop of that he has to pick up some of my extra slack from being out and not tending to some of the basic house things (like taking care of our fur baby).

Does anyone else in this situation have advice?
