I'll apologize for the long post now! what can I do short of beating my husband with a stick to get him to understand pcos?? we will be together 9 years and I can't seem to get him to take an interest in supporting or understanding this condition. I hid my symptoms when we started dating and since I've gained 30 lbs because I felt free and didn't need to hide anymore but now my symptoms are horrible! I've tried losing weight and have begged for support/approval and I get nothing then I feel worse about myself. we are both quiet private people and dont like bothering each other with issues but I just wanna shake him and say help me! even though I won't bring myself to do it. I'm too the point I can't diet/exercise alone bc I won't do it but my hubby is always to busy working in the garage to take time for me. any advice??? please dont shame my husband for not being supportive bc he dont understand how and I dont know how to talk about it with him
