My husband is very supportive too but also I know in his mind he probably thinks if he had this he'd overcome it (doesn't really get it) and at time I know he's tired of dealing with it, but he is so helpful to me when I am sick and puts up with the crummy quickie meals I fix him becaue I can't eat the same thing. He's not really one to cook dinner for himself but will if he has to, I knew that when I married him (and we were both healthy and I liked to cook) and I accept it. He does cook breakfast and we fend for ourselves for lunch. We can't all have saints for husbands. We have what we have and if they are there for us and understand "most of the time" then I think we should consider ourselves lucky. What would the option be, if they aren't perfect to leave them and deal with this alone (and probably have no medical insurance to boot & have to try to hold down a full time job, when some of us can't). All you can do is be sure you tell them EVERYTHING that is going on with you so they have the full pictures as best as they "get it". My 2 cents worth.
