Thankful for my BF

I'm always thankful, but last night we had a long talk about our future, etc. and I was reminded why I'm so head over heels for him. He's commited to me, our future, our family, etc. and that only encourages me to give even more of myself to him. Not to mention, he's so sweet and understanding about my PCOS and my IBS, two things that can definitely be a big pain and aren't the most glamorous health problems ever! He just accepts me and my wonky body for the way I am, and loves me more than anyone ever has. I'm not trying to say that past boyfriends weren't nice or good for me. But you all know what I mean - he's the best part of everything for me.

Didn't want to leave your post unanswered.

It sounds like you've got a good one there. My fiance is so understanding and tolerant, he asks me questions about PCOS (and, like you, IBS) and tried his best to support me. There are some good men out there.

I was just recently diagnosed -- he's been there for me more than my family or friends ever have been. I'm not alone in dealing with this -- I'm dealing with all of this WITH him. We're on long-distance right now, but he's been researching and bugging me with my IR diet (which I'm supposed to start). When he gets here, he's going to diet and exercise with me -- and whatever problems we encounter, he said we'll research and do what we can. I'm not in this alone.

He's always wanted his own children. When we just met, it was very clear to me. When I told him about the PCOS and infertility, he said he loved me first. We'd do our darned best to have kids, but if we can't, then he's still there. We'll just adopt. If I lose my hair, we're going wig-shopping! If I start growing hair, we're shaving together. If I get big, we're gonna hire me a dietician and a personal trainer just to make sure I stay healthy... It's good knowing that whatever issues I may encounter in the years to come, he'll still be beside me.

Just wanted to share! I'm happy for you and I'm happy for me!

We got lucky!
