Boyfriend has a terminally ill mother.
Relationship Stress / by Daisies11100

...See more Not too sure what I can do about my feelings with this. His mum has early onset Alzheimer's and his dad is too emotional to help, so it's left to my boyfriend and his sister. It's really started to affect our relationship, in the beginning it was fine and I'd help and I was happy to, never questioned it. But over time, my boyfriend has shut me out, to the point he can't even tell me he loves me unless I say it first and won't emotionally open up to me. He doesn't ask and just assumes I will be fine with them coming to over to our house without asking me first, or he and his family assume I will take care of her on random days due to being off with furlough or being available in the evenings after work. I've never been asked, and if I say I'm not sure about if I'm okay with it, they say I will be fine and to crack on with it. My boyfriend is working on communicating with me about his emotions and showing he loves me more, but I'm worried it's too late and I'm worried that, since his mum is only getting worse, that it won't stay that way, since he still isn't asking about stuff concerning his family.
