Endo the affects on Marriage

Support for the married couples. Sometimes during this difficult time we have a hard time dealing with our spouse. Share your experience on you and your spouse cope. Is your mate understanding and supportive through this time? Please tell experiences and give suggestions for those whose mate has a hard time figuring out whats going on, on ways we can ease up tension and make them understand whats going on.

     I was diagnosed with endo 1 year after we got married, my husband has been very supportive and he was the responsible for the diagnose of the disease, as he made me go through the surgery and going to the doc apps with me.
     Sometimes he also gets frustrated with the disease, but he is always there for me!

    Hey ladies! I am new to the board. My husband has been extremely supportive. I was dx'd the same year we got married. He has educated himself on the disease and comes with me to most of my drs appts. I really could not ask for a better person to have by my side through all of this!

    My husband is very supportive even though things have changed drastically from the pre Endometriosis portion of our marriage. He is always there to let me cry on his shoulder and helps me save face in front of the kids, so that they aren't so worried as to why mommy looks sick and is crying all the time.

    I was diagnosed with endo after I met my spouse. He urged me to go to the dr when pain was at its worse.I was misdiagnosed with an std and almost lost him for good.  He tells me that is not right and takes me to the women's hospital in Corpus Christi. Still misdiagnosed with ovarian cysts. A dr in Kingsville recognized my symptoms and took action. I have my moments we call "Sybil" moments and He has "Cleatise" moments. When I feel well, we cherish the time. When I feel horrible, I include him in my pain, when I can.NEVER SHUT HIM OUT! He is your #1 mate when the waters are rough.Make him feel part of the solution. Foot rubs, Back rubs, Hold you, anything he can do will help him. Always talk about the good and the bad. Even agree to disagree!  This works for me.

    i live with my fiance and havent gotten married yet but He is very supportive and tries to do the best he can with this whole thing. I am very lucky to have him. Its just sometimes you need to talk to people that feel what i feel cuz some people just dont seem to understand.

    My husband is extremely supportive, he gets just as annoyed as I do when we run across a Dr who doesn't know endo from a bladder infection.
