It's your choice who you tell and don't tell.
People see us as we behave. If they don't have a label to it, they still SEE the behaviour changes. They just don't know that there's a reason behind it.
Some people it would help out to know and they'd become more understanding. Others would attach stigma to us and use the diagnosis as a weapon/excuse to be cruel. Others it wouldn't make a difference too.
So it's your call! Personally, my friends know. My family does not. (I don't live near my family, but even if I did I would never, ever, tell them.) It's really up to you to tell who you're comfortable with. Your husband knows, and that's really the only one that matters as you live with him and share your whole life together.
