My husband is my rock!... he doesn't always understand what I'm going through as I think he's not sure what to do whwn I'm at my worst however, he is supportive, loving, generous and he has arranged several medical appointments privately to help me..and gets upset if he feel I've been let down by gp etc...
I couldn't be without him, I am very lucky...and imlove him very much :-*

Hi

My husband is trying to understand what I’m going through, he doesn’t always understand how I can be fine one minute and then very anxious and worried another.  He didn’t want me to start on Sertraline but has been supportive after I decided to give it a try.

The best thing? Not having one. I can fart and sweat and fidget in bed without being observed by anyone. Lovely.  :-*

When I started experiencing terrible VA 3 months ago, my husband of 17 years backed off asking for sex and trying to initiate it. He tried to be supportive by just putting aside his own physical needs - which is incredibly hard for him (he wants sex ALL the time).
The other day he told me that he feels 'cut off' and I told him in a way, he is - at the moment.  Until I can get the bladder and vaginal symptoms under control and pain free enough to consider sex again.  He has been very accepting and whilst I know he is struggling; he realises he has no choice right now but to be supportive and kind.
