Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Ok, here's my call out for support from everyone here.
I'm so upset because my boyfriend just dropped a bomb on me that he's sick of me being sick and the fact that we never get to go out and do things and that we're not very physical.
I'm totally crushed. Obviously, I'm sick of being sick, and I feel terribly that it impacts our relationship, but I'm trying to get better and it's not my fault that I'm not getting better faster! I was always worried that it bothered him, and he was always telling me that it was ok, and now he comes out of nowhere and says he doesn't know if he can live like this...what am I supposed to do? I've been with him almost 6 years and I thought we were going to end up together.
It's not fair, because I know I won't feel like this forever, but at the same time, I can understand he's young and wants to be out having fun and I guess I"m hindering that.
I'm so depressed right now, as if it's not bad enough we have to feel like crap, we're supposed to feel bad about how our crappiness effects others? Great.
Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kelly
