A message for all the husbands and boyfriends out there
I was looking through the threads trying to see if I could understand my hubby's point of view and read many of your posts.
I just want to say to all of you husbands and boyfriends of women with PCOS, kudos to you. I would be proud of my husband coming here, even if it was to b**** about me, because it would show that he cared enough to learn about it. In fact, I wish my hubby would join so all of you could talk together. I would be very proud indeed if my husband were to take an interest in this and love me so much that he wanted to talk to others like him about how this affects him and how he can support me.
I think it shows great strength and understanding to come on here and tell you story. I also think it is very admirable of all of you who come on looking for advice on how you can improve or change how you support. Keep up the great work guys, and don't lose hope in us.
I tip my hat to all of you.

Its a shame that your hubby doesnt seem to take an interest with whats up with you. Maybe in time he will......

'oops, everyone understands oops, it's like a universal language'
I know he cares, I think he is just having a hard time dealing with it as well and is trying to do it in his own way. I just hope he realizes that he doesn't have to do it alone either.

No, no. none of you came across as *****ing about them. I was just emphasizing a point.
I'm sorry to hear that jt. I know my hubby feels the same way too sometimes. Just keep being there for her.

Beylia,
I completely agree with you. I know I make my hubby's life a living hell sometimes. I'm so glad that I got this diagnosis though..he understands my mood swings a lot more than before.
Even though my hubby doesn't come here, he is awesome about supporting me. I want to diet--- he doesn't complain about there being "nothing good to eat" in the house. I want to exercise--- he makes sure that someone has our son so I can go. I dont' want to diet/exercise--- he doesn't nag me about not taking care of myself.
Through it all, he reminds me that I am still beautiful, and no less of a woman for having to wax my lip.

i concurr with baylia it is a really great thing when a man can come on here and express his feelings and not feel threatened by other men expressing their feelings i wish my boyfriend were comfortable enough to do what the others have but i htink he just doesnt realize how greatly this affects OUR life together i think if he did come on here he would understand alot more about my moods and things of that nature anyway kudos to you men that can come on here and actually express feelings to each other
