Aaw. That is really awesome. I am glad that you guys have husbands like that. It makes going through the endo problems much easier when you have someone to listen, and take care of you when you simply can't do anything but cry.

My husband never REALLY understood endo.for two years I talked his ear off about it. This is a man who even hates the word "period",lol. We refer to it as "i'm sick". He usually makes himself pretty scarce the first two days as my pms is a raging beast! I hurt everywhere, my head buzzes and I am soooo irritable! I finally found an animated video on youtube, describing endo in full color! He was actually in shock and hugged me and kissed my tears away. Since then, he has been so supportive. He won't let me lift anything on my bad days, goes to work for me(we work together in our own business) , and when I have surgery, makes it bearable to stay in bed all day by doing the housework,feeding the kids and me, and just cuddling. He is my best friend and the best husband. Oh, he also rubs my back when"I'm sick,"lol, as it hurts like hell. He really had no idea what I was going through until he saw that video. I think some men are more visual. It's a good idea for women who feel their husband doesn't get it. Visual in their face is a good wake up call!

My husband has been so amazing through the last year. With getting ready for the Hyster on Wed he pulled out the couch bed and put a second mattress on it so it sits higher and will be easier for me to get in and out of. He has prepared meals and froze them, cleaned the whole house, did laundry, bought a bed tray and just been soo amazing with support. I love my husband so much.

He's not my husband but we've been together for over six years. On the really bad days he brings me wine (I know, it's not good for the endo diet), brings me a blanket if I'm curled up on the couch, brings me water or tea when I'm curled up in the bedroom watching tv and don't want to move and he sticks to my diet during those days and doesn't try to tempt me with yummy (chili is my addiction but can't have chili on the very bad days) foods. He'll also run errands on his own when usually we prefer to do things together, but, he lets me sulk at home where I want to be during that time. . . and he rubs my back and lets me cry without questioning me. I love him so. AND he understands everything I go through, all the different pains, infertility, moods and he's still here.

Although this isn't endo-related, I need to rave for my boyfriend. 2 days ago, on Wednesday, I was cooking for a special anniversary dinner (2 years!) and managed to severely injure my hand. I had turned the blender off, put my right hand in, and bumped a button, turning the blender on while my hand was in it. I panicked, I was home alone and the blood was literally everywhere. I somehow drove myself to the hospital, calling my bf and parents on the way. My bf left work and held my good hand as I got my lacerations cleaned out and 9 stitches put in, very painful. I barely missed having to have my middle finger amputated half of the way down, and on my dominant hand. He drove me home, picked up my meds from the pharmacy, and finished making dinner. He then went out to get me ice cream. I am a lucky girl!

Oh my goodness Emily! So glad to hear you are ok!!! That absolutely sounds like something I would do too. (Must be an Emily thing...) This thread has warmed my heart in so many ways. It's great to know that our men stand beside us through everything. I'll go ahead and rave for my fiance. The other night my period started (a few days late... we thought I might have been expecting by some miracle) and I was in such severe pain not to mention devastated at the thought of not being a mommy so I laid in bed crying for a couple of hours. Levi just held me and let me cry the whole time. he didn't say anything but he was still there for me which was more than I could have asked for. He takes me to all of my doctors appts and stayed home from work with me for a couple days after my surgery. While I don't really think he understands endo(He also calls it my tummy pain) his support is the only thing that keeps me going on really bad days. YAY for awesome men!!

Emily I'm so so glad to hear that you are alright. Isn't it great to have somebody who's always there for us. You are a very lucky girl to have such a great bf.
Marley, don't give up on your baby. My hubby and I've been trying for some time too and everytime I get my period I just feel so so bad. Big hugs.
My hubby and I sometimes have our off days but last weekend, we were out at dinner with another couple and I had a terrible reaction to something I ate and was very very sick. Hubby was so supportive, he helped me clean up the mess and knew exactly what to say to calm me down. I'm thankful for the little miracles and that I have my hubby.
