How Ao Husbands Feel About the Physical Aspects of PCOS?

I would like to know how husbands feel about the physical side affects that pcos can carry with it. The excessive facial hair and body hair.

I've been dying to ask this question myself! (I consider myself a freak to the nth degree)

My husband doesn't care at all. Well, he says he doesn't care, and he acts like he doesn't care, but I'm sure there has to be a part of him that wishes I didn't have the stuff I have (excessive weight gain, nasty body and facial hair, terrible acne, etc.) It would only be human of him to feel that way, but he's never once made me feel bad over any of these things and claims not to notice hairs and zits. Not to mention I can't conceive a child for him, and I've bled for weeks and weeks at a time. He's got it rough, poor guy. But he never says anything negative.

Married man here,
Ladies, First off I want to say we said in sickness and in health, richer or poor. With this said PCOS as long as you man knows what it is and now it can affect you. Then what you man is telling you the truth. I love my wife very much and would go to the end of the world for her. I deal with everything cause she is my wife and she done the same for me. Now at first when you had some of the systoms, not knowing you had PCOS or even what in the heck it was maybe looking at you like your slipping. But after the 2 years of us not knowing the moods swings, making AF look like nothing, and no attenion at all starts to make the man doubt if he is even wanted around. I know it not a cake walk for you dealing with every apact of this disorder at all. But for all us men that know what in store for us we stand by our ladies or at least I am.

Now for the single man that has no clue nor a emotion tye to the lady it may be alot harder, its all going to depend on how much she means to him. Plus how much he looks up and get information about it. The hugh plus for both married and single is talking with your parnter about everything.

MommaMcCoy, my husband is the same way yours is. Most of the time when he tells me that I look fine and nothing is noticable I feel like he's just saying it so I don't feel so bad about myself. He too has never made me feel bad about it and I love him so much for all the support he has given me over the last 10 years. I too feel like a freak to the ninth degree. I know he is going threw everything that I'm going threw and I ask him all the time how he feels about it. He says it doesn't bother him and has never been embarrsed by me at all. I believe that for us women that have the nasty problems of facial hair and body hair and all the self image problems that go with it we are truley blessed to have the men in our lives that we do. I count my blessings for everyday that I get to spend with him.

If you been with your wife that long this no its really not an issue. The issue of looks is when you first start dating, you remember that aminal addection. But no matter what I will stick by it and sounds yours is doing the same. Remeber ladies men are not perfect either.

Congratulations on making your wife a happier, more secure woman. I salute you.

That's just like my Dear One! He is so kind and loving! I know he suffers, the mood swings alone would do someone in. But here he is, 9 years of marriage and PCOS still by my side. He even said last night that if it got to the point where I had to shave he would teach me LOL! So far I'm doing okay with meds and plucking. He says he doesn't see the hair, gain or loss of it, the acne, the weight gain. He says he doesn't see me as big, just me is all he sees. As far as conceiving a child, we're planning on adopting. But he says that even if that doesn't pan out he just wants to be married to me.

I could never have asked for anyone better! I know I have not been easy to live with. And I also have had libido problems. But we cuddle, hold hands, kiss, snuggle, all of those good things. It doesn't have to lead to sex, but just to affirm our love for each other. And when the time rolls around that I am in the mood WATCH OUT BABY! WOO!

To all the men out there who also suffer from PCOS, on behalf of women everywhere, thank you! Thank you for sticking with us, loving us unconditionally, for being a man and standing beside us and helping us!

Sorry, I'm getting all mushy. AF is due soon and PMS is a witch with a capital 'B'!
