Kelly,

I hope that your husband can learn to help you and not be so concerned about your sex life. My husband and I both are young and I am going through similar things and even though we have a hard time with our lack of a sex life, he understands there are more important things going on and at risk. Sometimes I think he is more worried that I am. Age is not an excuse for your husband to have that kind of attitude towards your condition. I wish you both luck... it's bad enough that endo wrecks bodies, it shouldnt mess with relationships.
