Hi, I hope you don't mind me butting in as I'm not a male, but just thought I'd give you some reassurance. Sorry that you are going through such a rough time in your relationship and I really, really hope things will work out for you. Sounds like you have really suffered at the hands of this PCOS and I'd say give the met some time to take effect. Your other half will more than likely change her diet as the met makes you spend most of the day on the toilet and eating fatty or high carb foods will just aggrivate it even more, so she'll learn from trial and error. Hopefully the met will also help her to shed some of the pounds that she has put on in the last couple of years.
However, having said all that, PCOS doesn't necessarily change you as a person, it sounds to me like there is more to the story than meets the eye. Your girlfriend has lived with PCOS for most of her life and she probably had it when she met you and, yes, there are definitely ways in which you can control the symptoms, but the PCOS itself doesn't stop you from moving on with your life and stop you from having a happy relationship.
You sound like a really nice guy and you certainly take more interest in this condition than most husbands/boyfriends etc and you really must be at your wits-end with all this, but I'd say show her your post on here and she might understand more of where you are coming from.
Hope everything works out for you - all the best.
