Matt, I have been reading your message and all the responses on the forum and also wanted to reply. First off, as many have already stated, you should be commended for making an effort to understand and help your fiance. As a woman with endo, who also has a very understanding hubby, I cannot tell you what it means to me to have my partner support me and make all efforts to help and understand. He has gone to all my appointments, always there by my side for surgeries, put up with me for 9 months on Lupron, even sits in on my many vaginal ultrasounds! This disease is so frustrating and hard to deal with. We women who suffer from it need all the understanding we can get. Just be there for you as best you can and try to understand when she has her bad days and pushes you away. I do the same thing to my hubby, but now he knows it is never directed at him, just is my frustration, pain, and emotions. I can honestly say that my battle with endo has turned into "our" battle with endo and has definitely made our marriage and relationship stronger. If you guys can learn to battle and cope with endo, you can get through anything! I wish you and your fiance the very best of luck and hope she gets to feeling better. It would be so nice if all men, including the male doctors!!, could be as understanding and concerned as you. It would make things so much easier for the millions of women who suffer 24 hours a day.

God Bless and hugs to both of you! Amy Meyer
