Hi there. I am the one with PPMS in our house…25 years now and serious disability for most of that.
It was very hard for my hubby to realise what was happening.
MSers can need a lot of practical help, but dont always admit it.
AS difficult as it is, try to let your wife know you’re there for her.
You cant make MS go away, but you can still have a good life with it.

Hi
I take my hat off to all spouses / partners / carers many of whom never dreamt of what they were signing up for. The impact of needing help can be huge. For me there is no consistent rhyme or reason to know when help is ‘wanted’ (irrespective of need) or not wanted. I think the best you can do is to be there and offer when you think it is right and not be offended if it gets a snarly response.
If you have time, try to imagine that the roles are reversed, how would you respond?
Wishing you both all the best
Mick
