Frustration & Lost Hope In Supporting My Husband With Sinus Issues

I’m feeling really frustrated and overwhelmed. I’ve been trying to support my husband with his sinus issues, but it’s starting to take a real emotional toll on me.

Despite his long-standing problems, he’s never bothered to seek proper help, and it feels like I’m the one left to manage the fallout.

It’s hard because his health issues seem to take over our relationship, and he doesn’t show any willingness to improve or get the help he needs.

The constant mood swings during his sinus attacks are draining. When he gets selfish and in a bad mood, it feels unfair and leaves me feeling unsupported and unappreciated.

I often feel like I’m walking on eggshells, trying to accommodate his mood without getting anything in return.

It’s exhausting, and it’s hard to keep up with the relationship when I’m constantly drained emotionally. It’s starting to erode my patience and care.

I know it’s normal to feel like I’m losing hope when I feel like I’ve been doing all I can, but it’s still not enough.

This frustration comes from a mix of emotional exhaustion, unmet needs, and helplessness.

I want to support him, but I don’t see much change or effort on his part to seek help. It’s hard to keep giving when I’m not feeling supported or understood myself.

I deserve to feel heard, supported, and cared for too, especially in our relationship.

I think it’s time for an honest conversation with him about how his health affects me emotionally and why it’s important for him to get professional help.

  1. Confront him.. Ask your husband to seek professional help; such as specialist in sinus etc.. tell your side of ‘tiredness’ in handling him without any professional help.. make him understand that u are also a human being that needs respect n appreciation.. the problem will not be solved if u just keep it within yourself..! Good luck, dear.. keep calm n pray hard..

  2. Are you sure it’s because of the sinus? Sinus doesn’t cause mood swings. Yes, people might be sensitive when they are sick but I think it’s more on his issue in handling his emotion.
    Hug for you! I know its hard and I hope you could find the best and happy solution for both of you

  3. Sinus can be really overstimulating. My partner and I both have sinus so when one of us is in the middle of it, we just give each other some space. If I were you I’d plop Loratadine (non-drowsy antihistamine) in his water.
