I am on the road to divorce from an emotionally and verbally abusive husband. I recently met a very sweet guy who attends the same college as me. When would it be appropriate for me to bring up my disorder? I don't want to freak him out. I have it pretty much managable for now and I tend to be with guys who prefer more than just a beautiful body. This guy is younger than me (he's 20) and is from overseas. Things sound very promising between us and we have many things in common so far. I just wonder when the right time would be to bring something up like PCOS. Any advice from you men out there?

wow, that's a tough one, i was already married when we found out my wife has pcos. i may not be the best person to give advice on this sort of thing, as my wife and friends like to point out i am not a normal guy but it sounds like you found someone special. i can understand this would be a hard subject to just bring up, but i fell it would be less painful for everyone involved if you are up front about it, let him know early so it doesn't get too serious and have him freak out then. i mean don't bring it up on a romantic dinner or something but just tell him that there is something you want to talk about and just give him as much info as you can, so that he is aware and can try and learn more on his own, this site helps if he is interested

Thanks for your advice. I hope things go the way I hope they will. I was also married when we found out about the PCOS. Over time, it became apparent that he did not like the fact that I had this expensive disorder to care for. I also have felt called to adopt and my husband abruptly decided in March that he no longer wanted children and especially not adopted children. He had no reasoning. I'm a teacher, so children are my life. He also complained about the teaching profession a lot and would never let me talk about my day. He said my field was too liberal for his tastes. Luckily, my new man thinks teachers should be respected and honored for the hard work they do. Plus, he thinks it's neat when someone chooses to teach elementary students because those are the teachers you will always remember. I pray and hope that he can accept my disorder.
Thank you!

I would probably say when the subject of having kids comes up. If you're comfortable and in love enough to talk about having kids, then you know he's got to be ready to hear about PCOS. You could do it sooner, but that would be the best time that I can think of. Good luck!
