A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

My partner (he's Negative, btw) and I are going on our 25th year, but things have changed between us since my diagnosis in 2013. We had a brief break back in 2012 and I was traveling extensively with my work. Then I became ill in late 2012 and, at the time, thought it was stress related or perhaps flu symptoms.

I posted 6 months ago about difficulties similar to yours that my spouse and I were going through. As an update, we filed for divorce yesterday. The experiences leading up to it were filled with fear, unhapppiness and loss of self worth. We went to the Courthouse together and were able to file while remaining friends. After over 8 years together, we still have posessions to sort through. Fortunately, we are not filled with hatred. We only want each other to move on with our lives seperately, but happy. I am definitely in a much better place mentally. I hope you have found answers you are looking for.
