Well said Sue - I don't really have much to add, agree with Sue whole heartedly. I think it helped my DH to have a mate who had been through it before. They had a good old chuckle about "knocking the top off" at EPU.. they even compared diagnoses etc (both guys had abnormal morphology). Unfortunately he's not the type to join an internet forum - but I can work on that... (nag nag nag)
Overall, the process has brought us closer together. He has said to me a couple of times that he feels so helpless. As Sue said, he has this "fix it" mind set and I guess he gets a bit frustrated. I'm one of those who has become a little obsessed (and hence am seeing the counsellors this week) and DH often tries to 'ground' me by saying things like how he'd love children but can live without them, that he loves me no matter what etc.
But I agree with Sue about finding time for yourselves.
I hope that helps!
Cheers
H
