It doesn't sound stupid at all my darling. I love you too. This forum is a rare place and many of us have found kindred spirits here; people who will listen when we scream, soothe us when we fear, laugh with us when we are silly.
One of my favourite Winnie the Pooh quotes is "I'm so tired my tired is tired."
How many of us could say 'I'm in so much pain my pain has pain."
To see another person in pain and suffering can be incredibly challenging and frustrating. Oftentimes it is because they have no comparable experience, they don't get it. Perhaps the best way to foster the loving support you want and need is to begin by giving it to yourself. It is said others learn how to love and treat us by how they see us love and treat ourselves.
There is much love in you. Love yourself, nurture yourself in ways that bring comfort. Give it time. Let it become natural to do this. Your man will respond. Men have a tremendous capacity to hold us safe and offer their protective love if we let them. I have seen this bloom in my life.
