I've come to the realization that our men have bad times just as much as we do. And they deserve the benefit of the doubt and understanding too. Having those " talks" with them can be the ice breaker if you let it be. And for me and my husband... the things I do, and try so hard to keep up with is showing him how hard I am trying. And now he is realizing that if I cant do something one day.. its not cause I dont want to. Its cause I am in pain one way or another. I have no idea how long this will last.. but for now.. I am thrilled with his understanding of me and me of him. IT FINNALLY FEELS LIKE A PARTNERSHIP.

Hope.. I am so happy for you that you decided to stick it out. I think it takes alot of courage and perseverance to do that. Good Luck to you and Giraffeboy.. I am so very proud of you both!
