Love is often taught as limitless-but for disabled people, chronically ill people, neurodivergent people, and anyone living with fluctuating capacity, love has a cost. The Energy Budget of Love introduces a radically honest framework for dating and relationships that honors physical, cognitive, and emotional limits without shame.
This book challenges the myth that real love requires endurance, constant availability, or self-sacrifice. Instead, it teaches readers how to recognize their daily energy reality, communicate fatigue without guilt, avoid overextension, and choose partners who do not compete with their health. Through practical tools, reflective exercises, and disability-centered insight, this book reframes romance as something that should sustain, not deplete.
Written for disabled readers first-not as an afterthought-The Energy Budget of Love offers a language for setting boundaries, pacing intimacy, and building relationships that respect rest, recovery, and variability. It is not about giving less love. It is about giving love in ways that do not cost your body, mind, or future.
If love has ever left you burned out, this book offers a different path: connection that fits inside your life, not love that consumes it.
