[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2068401, member: 475037"] A loving relationship is possible and deserved and it sounds like you need some counseling with him to see if you can reach an acceptable path together. Because right now it's tearing you apart. Type 1 and all of it's issues will not go away. My husband did not marry me when I had diabetes and while someone that doesn't have type 1 can never really truly understand what we go through, they can be supportive. My husband will get me my OJ if I ask, My husband will wake me up when my alarm goes off and I'm trying to ignore it. My husband will go into the market to buy me that OJ if I need it. My husband will ask lol if my sugar is dropping when I get irritable. Sure he will ignore the alarms most of the time, because he knows it is just alarms, and he has also been known to say again????? We both work around my type 1 when needed. He is not perfect, I'm not trying to say he is, but he knows I do not have a "choice" being a type 1 and that it is just part of life now. It is never going to be perfect, you can just do the best you can and a loving partner will understand that. [/QUOTE]
