Struggling with a partner who has chronic pain

It’s been almost 7 years since my partner has been struggling with chronic pain. We moved away from our home 4 years ago and since then it has gotten worse. His pain has intensified. He got a third shoulder surgery and that put him out of work for a while so he was unable to work or make money. In that time we used up all our savings to pay for bills and we have been struggling to stay afloat.

It’s has been really tough because he has been dealing with depression because of stress and pain. I have been trying to stay strong but I feel like I’m experiencing depression as well. I feel so helpless.

We been to so many doctors and they just give us a run around and no one can’t seem to help , so he has given up on that too now.

We had been together for 12 years and he has always been the strong one. I don’t know what to do anymore. This is destroying our relationship and I feel like I am no help to him💔
