[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2067690, member: 451727"] Hi Sunny. I read your post and although my first thought was to say dump him I realise of course that you have children and a family life so that is hardly an option. I wonder, what is your husband like generally, is he loving and supportive in all other aspects? I ask because sometimes this attitude of not seeming to 'give a ….' comes from an inability to acknowledge that you have a serious health condition, ie, a way of him not wanting to believe it and therefore refusing to accept it. My husband, who is a man of few words which is fine because I have enough for two of us, hardly EVER speaks about my condition, he tries when I speak about it to him and he is the most supportive and lovely person I have ever met, but he does not talk about it in any depth (which is fine by me) and I know that deep down he is horrified and upset by it all. He is the type that may not say much BUT he most certainly does care deeply. If your hubbie is a g*t then I sympathise but if on the other hand your Husband is generally a nice bloke in all other aspects, then it may be possible you have taken his attitude as indifference when it may be 'I can't talk about it or I will break down'. Can you tell us more? x [/QUOTE]
