I'm about to get married again at the age of 68. My fiance is 65. This is the problem. I have told him I suffer from pelvic floor prolapse, that is to say, my bladder, and uterus are prolapsed. When I have intercourse with him there is bleeding and pain, which, since we were intimate this last time, is particularly bothersome when I'm on my feet all day as I have a heavy uncomfortable feeling in my lower abdomen, especially in my bladder region. When I told him about my pain and discomfort, he immediately changed the subject. After a while he asked if I was mad. I said, "no," but that I was disappointed that he responded to my by changing the subject and that I took that as a sign he doesn't care enough about me to want to discuss it with me. He then said that he doesn't care to talk about "women's problems." This hurt me very much. In fact I feel so betrayed and devalued by him that I'm not sure I can ever talk to him about anything that concerns me deeply. I will see a physician to get evaluated and find out options, which I understand in some cases are surgery if the problem is severe enough. However, if my fiance isn't supportive enough now, how supportive will he be in the future. Am I overreacting in thinking he acted in a uncaring selfish manner, or do I have a valid concern here? Any comment would be greatly appreciated.
