It's natural to have these worries, especially when it comes to feeling independent and self-sufficient.\n\nPart of addressing and overcoming this fear is exploring the underlying beliefs and potential misunderstandings it may be based on.

Each person has different needs and challenges to navigate, and seeking support from our loved ones is a sign of strength and trust in our relationships.\n\nAdditionally, it's worth considering the practicality of the situation. While involving your spouse in your diaper management may require some adjustments, it doesn't necessarily mean losing control over other areas of your life or regress in terms of independence.
