Unsupportive Spouse

I could almost have written this post myself. Only 12 years diagnosed and three kids married 19 years. Can’t see it getting any better any time soon. If they want to understand they will leaflets or no leaflets. While we just continue to plod on and it doesn’t affect them they won’t bother!! Good luck. Let me know if u have any success
 
 
I truly sympathise. My own husband is a very patient person and though he finds my having to spend time on my condition (T1) and the highs and lows and and mood swings and everything else difficult at times he is supportive. That's the type of man he is and I know I am lucky. Your husband does not seem to want to or is not presently able to show such patience and I am no marriage counsellor so see where else you can source help - try your DSN, your GP, even, as you need some support. In my area we also have a Diabetes Patients Supporters group. See what is available to you, please. Good luck!
