The best advice I can offer is, if he wants to go to your doctor appointment and ask questions, let him. If he just wants to go and listen to the information that is being given to you, let him. Also, make sure you ask him how he is feeling about it. AND ALWAYS ALWAYS PRAISE HIM FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT HE IS GIVING YOU. He is probably just as confused about it as you were when you heard the diagnoses (if you're anything like me) and he can probably get just as frustrated with the side effects (depending on which ones you have) as do we. Be sure to make information available to him and keep reminding him how much you appreciate and love him. It's really not as big of a deal as we make it out to be sometime, they know it is not our fault. I believe that it's when we make it out to be a great big deal that they get the most aggrivated with it. |
you could tell him about this site and ask him if he wants to either read some of the stuff here, or even better register and ask some of us blokes some questions that he would the answers to.
Showing love and giving support is only part of it, he has to try and understand why you feel the way you do. Just accepting that you feel like that sometimes is the worst decision, if he understands why then he can look out for the 'markers' next time and be there sooner than he has been previously
