I'm sorry about your stroke. Although I can't pretend I know what that's like and the trauma you faced after, I know what it's like to suffer from trauma while in a relationship. Suddenly you are forced to navigate healing from trauma while simultaneously managing your romantic relationship, care to their needs, and maintain your own self-confidence, self-esteem, and recovery. It's immensely difficult and I couldn't remain in the relationship unfortunately.

But, now you can venture in your dating life with everything you have learned and healed from in that relationship.
