Has anyone noticed.......

HCA
Has anyone noticed that there are numerous women on this forum who are managing/researching their husband's treatment yet I have not noticed any men who are doing the same for their wives.
Perhaps I have missed something,but this superficial evidence suggests that women are more proactive in this department than men.
Interesting.

Its because men see it as an opportunity to finally be rid of them.

I kid....but do I ?

Could be true as the  person that helped me find tx when I had relapsed was a woman that cared about me. I think i would have done the leg work and obviously had to do the real work in the end but wonder if I would have been fortunate to get in the study if it hadn't been for her. We all have our contributions we make to having functional lives and likely it's people living in their strengths when circumstances seem to indicate more interest from the woman... my 2 cents on that. We all need to live in our strengths and 'hire for our weaknesses' so to speak... the goal for male or female is get to SVR whatever it takes...

There are givers & takers in the world, there are people who think of no one other than themselves & people who care and put others before themselves.
I am a giver and carer, i have attended every appointment since my Fiance' has been diagnosed with Hepatitis C and Fibromyalgia, many people have stated to me she is lucky as many men would have left her by now.

She Lives in Texas united states and i live in the United kingdom, she has to start her treatment in january 2010 and my PRIORITY is to travel back and for from UK to USA in which to be there and care for my Fiance'.

If you truly love some one you it would never even enter your head in which to leave or abandon them, i shall care for her get through her course of treatment and in 2-3 years time Marry her.

My wife has been very supportive and she is the one that found this forum and got me involved. I was just ridin it out cowboy style before that.

Maybe men give their support in smaller, more frequent events rather than the more dramatic long drawn out ones. ??

You are right Speed, not all are nurturers.  Male or female, we all are not capable of everything.  We are, who we are.  I learned to understand this a long time ago with a mother who was not a nurturer.  I love and enjoy people for who they are and never impose my expectations on them.
