Shortly after I uploaded my first post, I took the time to read it and thought "gosh....you're just being a big baby." But I do feel better knowing that there is a place out there where I can go for some support, even if it is just to rant.

My brother and his partner had a baby boy last Saturday and it was a hard time for her. In fact she had to be sectioned. My brother was scared and he asked for my support. Naturally I went to the hospital to calm his fears and thankfully baby and mom are fine. In fact, my new nephew is cute as a button.

I'm happy for them but part of me is angry. My brother has 2 other kids with another woman who he has very little contact with. I've been more of a father to them than he has and here is having another one. Its not fair. My wife and I have been trying to have another baby for what seems like forever and this syndrome (thank you for correcting me macrod) has prevented us from realizing this.

My wife has been prescribed metformin but she isn't using it. I don't know why. She says that she doesn't like the gas or diarhea that she gets once in a while. How do I convince her to take her meds? I really want her to be well but I don't want to sound like a pushy jerk at the same time.

I sometimes think that I might be putting too much pressure on her. I've backed off a little bit and I've been looking for other ways to be intimate with her. I've decided to approach the lack of respnse a bit differently. Instead of showing my dissapointment by pouting, I've reassured her that it was okay and held her instead. I could hear a bit of a sigh of relief the first time I did it. I don't know how long I could keep that up without feeling frustrated again.

Again, thank you for "listening."
