My partner very resistant to being told what to do’

Our relationship is tricky ~ no-go areas. If I stand back, I’m afraid that he’ll deteriorate and die.


  1. , hi. COPD can be scary. Do you know what stage your partner is?
    One of the hardest things to do, is to watch someone struggle with health, especially breathing issues. Is your partner able to care for his or her own self?
    Have you talked about your concerns and fears? Do you have a support system? I believe that support is just as important for the caregiver as it is for the person with COPD.
    Know that we are here for you.
