For me it affected my life in so many ways and now only looking back can I really see the difference in my personality. I kept wondering what was wrong with me and would plug on but just couldn't shake the depression, lack of motivation, happiness that was usually me and overall feeling terrible. Then the stomach issues came on and the constant pain and difference in my stools along with body aches, joint and muscle. It was a year decline till I found what was wrong with me. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Start the diet now and you will be feeling so much better later. Tell your husband you need his support because this is killing you and he needs to help you get through this. Isn't that was love is about. Wishing you the best..
There should be no turmoil, really. Hopefully that will put his mind at ease.
It ***** to be sick for so long and misunderstood, but family can't always understand enough or be sensitive enough to make up for all those feelings. As long as he is cooperative and does not prevent you from being healthy, and as long as he does not become abusive, it might be the best you can expect from him until he begins to feel less threatened by the change. Men can be blockheads but tend to come around if you leave them alone to think it through for a few weeks.
Truly, don't try to force him to understand. That will come with time. Anytime we push men too fast, make them feel wrong or insensitive, or try to tell them how to think, they become stubborn and contrary. If he's a decent individual he will come around on his own like an adult.
