#that said ppl with chronic pain really get treated like shit by most people including medical professionals

[aro-culture-is]

Aro culture is being so confused when watching doctor shows n having a couple come in, with one in chronic pain looking for smth that can help them. Then, when told abt a surgery that is risky, but could help them, the other partner says stuff like 'it's either me or this surgery' bc of the risks. like??? Are relationships rlly like this??? I've seen these types of couples come in on the show more times than I can count n I'm worried that ppl are actually like this??? Ur rlly gonna make ur spouse suffer through pain everyday just so u can spend a bit more time with them?? It rlly seems like only one person wins here wtf
