[QUOTE="cocteau8, post: 2066151, member: 124587"] Came across this thread after searching for ‘unsupportive partner’! Having been misdiagnosed as Type 2 a few years ago, an urgent hospital admission last year led to a Type 1 diagnosis and insulin injections. I had thought people would need to accept the ‘new’ me, not including her in this thought, as, obviously, she would. Well, no. I have to inject myself in another room, as she expressed her dislike of me doing it. We fine visit friends, where alcohol is an integral part of the evening. So I drink water or a sugar free drink whilst everyone gets increasingly merry. And last night we were invited to an evening of cocktails at friends. On this occasion I said I would drop her off, as it is no fun for me. I had no problem with doing that, but Ihave since been told I was rude and received the cold shoulder treatment. There is no understanding, and no wish to understand how I feel and what my physiological needs are. Should add, I was pulled into a false sense of security as my first meal out with friends was when my wife was away. I apologised to friends next to me as I was about to inject and not an eyelid was batted. Now I go to corridors, kitchens, bathrooms etc or, if not possible, try to hide what I am doing. [/QUOTE]
