[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2128323, member: 451727"] Hi Manfer, I reckon a lot of it is to do with what our partners are like personality wise in the first place, along with our own personalities. Becca's partner and herself sound fabulous! My partner is also fabulous but he is what you might call the strong, silent type as I am I to a large extent. It would drive me mad if he even attempted to mollycoddle me or 'interfere' by asking 'Can you have that'! I know, I know, we want it all ways but what I do know is that my husband collects my prescriptions, takes me to the hospital (I don't want him in the appointments getting in the way though, that's just my way and his), does everything I ask him in relation to my diabetes and I know underneath he is worried sick about potential repercussions. Is your husband usually supportive in most other things and kind and loving to you? If he is then I say give him a break over this, he may just be finding it difficult to accept that you have a lifelong condition (even after so long) especially when he gets bombarded with 'you'll pop off at 65, with no limbs and blind'! every time diabetes is mentioned. x [/QUOTE]
