Are you single because of CFS? If not, how did you find your partner?

I'm exactly in the same boat as you. I was always focused on my career and didn't care about relationships. The career got torpedoed by cfs and currently I'm in a very difficult relationship. Before cfs I thought I was too good for many of my potentials but afterwards I thought I'm not good enough for anyone. But somehow my current partner found me and we have been in a relationship for six years now.

But it has not been a fun time, we argue constantly and it really saps my energy. I really think it would have been better being alone. In fact I tried to unsuccessfully break up a few times.

I don't really know what's the solution. Life sucks with cfs, with or without a relationship.
