mine is "almost perfect" too other than the annoying clicking noises he makes when he eats...and nearly gagging himself when brushing teeth! What's with that, anyway??

I just wonder how we all mangaged to find "almost perfect" spouses! :smirk

My husband is very understanding of my IBS. Very.
It's also a good thing he likes rice, because we ate a lot of it last year especially!

Oh, and from looking over my shoulder, he's convinced that only good-looking people get IBS! He's a keeper.

So funny. I'll have to ask my husband if that's his reason too!

My husband is wonderfully understanding and supportive. He doesn't complain at all about the changes I've had to make to feel better (low-fat cooking, no red meat, money spent on supplements, etc.). In fact, he's generally very encouraging about it all.
Sometimes he does get a little frustrated, but I think it's mostly because he doesn't like to see me suffering, not because he dislikes the things I have to do to take care of myself.
He's another "almost-perfect".

... every time I'm in the middle of putting away dishes or groceries or whatever, I turn around with another armful and the cupboard's closed!! When he sees an open cupboard or drawer he shuts it. This drives me crazy because I NEVER leave anything open unless I'm doing something with it right then. You'd think after five years of living together he'd figure that out.

Ah well. We all have our irritating little quirks.

Yep, gagging as he brushes his teeth and having a toothbrush looking like a toilet brush! Too funny...

My DH is wonderful, most of the time. He gets frustrated when I am having frequent attacks - I think mostly because he is helpless to help me, other than consoling me. He asks through the bathroom door if I'm still alive. He runs out for Gatorade when I'm super dehydrated. He even finds me non-dairy ice-cream when we're shopping. Mostly he gets upset when I can't do my normal stuff - housework, cooking, and going out. But he is great 90% of the time. I really lucked out. He understands why I can't do everything and he doesn't pass judgement because of that. (although he slams the back door on occasion!) I love him, he is my soul mate.
