Boyfriend's Acceptance Issues - Need Advice

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about a person seeking advice regarding their boyfriend's acceptance issues after the poster had emergency surgery for severe ulcerative colitis. The poster is recovering well but feels that their boyfriend is avoiding them and is unsure if the boyfriend's behavior is a sign of rejection or just his way of dealing with the situation.

Advice and Insights

- Some forum members regret not addressing similar issues earlier and advise the poster not to waste time on someone who may not be able to handle life's challenges.
- It's suggested to give the boyfriend time to adjust to the new situation and to have patience as he may need time to wrap his head around the changes.
- The poster should prioritize their own physical and emotional healing and not carry the burden of their partner's fears and worries.
