Supportive husbandFrom: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 23 Jan 2002 07:37:24 -0600 (CST)
I'm sorry to be posting anonymously but it is to protect the privacy of my wife. I'm not even sure if I shoud even be posting to this board but I somehow feel compelled to seek further advice. A little over a wek ago my wife started seeming depressed, alot. When we finally sat down and talked to each other she said something that I never thought I'd hear from her. She told me she wanted a divorce, and her reason being that "she didn't want to be married anymore". After a while she came out and gave me the real reason, she has PCOS. I'd never heard of this before. I know that before we got married she said she had fertility problems but I was under the impression that we would be able to have children as long as some sort of hormonal treatment was applied. But I never knew how serious it really was. She said that she can't be married anymore knowing that we can never have what a married couple wants, children. Since then I've been reading as much as possible on PCOS. It seems that there is a chance but it costs quite alot of money. To me it would be worth it. I'd take on a second job just in order to pay for the treatments and hospital visits needed to accomplish this. I love my wife. What I need advised on is how should I comfort my wife? I'm scared to talk to her about this, she cries every time the subject is brought up and I can't bare to see her crying. I want to let her know that it is her that I married and not the idea of having children, though I really do want children, but I want her more. No time sems like the right time to talk to her, it's all I can do when we lie in bed at night to not cry about this. We are a young couple, around age 26 each, and we have been married for over 2 years, I'm afraid that I'll never see the third year come to pass. I want to be supportive to my wife and give her what she needs/wants to make it thru this, but I don't want to lose her. Does anyone have any advice on how I can be more supportive to her without making her think of not being able to have children while doing so? Thank you.
