What cdiff can do to a marriage!

You can do it here... but no profanity, naming specific names, etc. Try to be constructive. Suggestions to improve the board or discussion forums are always appreciated.

Roy:

I believe the term they prefer to use is "Loving us to death " Ironic isn't it, and I'm sure that the large amounts of life insurance is never a consideration....

fire,
We don't want to turn the site into a "man bashing" picnic. Men are better & stronger at some things; women are superior in other areas.

I've always admired fire fighters. I've read quite a few women are now in your profession. True?

Thx. for your help on the site. You've always been a great help to others.

Very priviledged to know and work with some incredible women in the Fire Service. They pull their own weight and are a great asset to us, and they also run into burning buildings right next to us.

Awesome post Fire - as a female (and retired military/VFW member) that post just made me smile huge. And ditto on Bobbie's post - you are a great help to many of us on this site. Cheers!

I am on my sixth round of c-diff and so far my husband is very supportive. I got mad at him a few times because when I would tell hiim it was back he seems more "annoyed" with it than me. I can't say I blame him and he has been loooking for any help we can get since the begininng but I think it does get old because we have a 1 year old and a 2 1/2 year old and when I am sick he has to do everything after work like he is a single parent. I had a pity party for him =)

Mother of 2- You just have to learn not to take the eye rolling and "sick of it" attitude personally. I have dealt with a husband that was very supportive in the beginning (as he had no choice) to a husband now that just ignores (or tries to) my sick days and feeling bad days. This has been going on in our house now for 7 years and TIRED IS NOT THE WORD for him........but he needs to stop and think about how I feel. I have developed Reactive arthiritis as a result of the gut bacterial infection and suffer from that as well. I have lots of bad days and have just learned within the last year (after enduring 6 years of emotional abuse) that I refuse to make excuses for this illness, as I did not ask for it nor is it my fault I got it. I also have determined that NO ONE cares how I feel and only I can pamper myself on the days I feel rotten----and I do! I guess what I am saying is it is what it is-----VICIOUS and I do what I have to do and what I can do and I quit apologizing for being ill---------Feel alot better now! hang in there
