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.

My girlfriend couldn't leave fast enough when I told her about my HCV results. She originally told me she would give me undying support then... Adios. A phone call a few months later and never again. That was 8 years ago. Not all are nurturers. Guess I was lucky enough not to be married to her, huh? LOL (now)

I'm kind of interested in the study mentioned above.  It said that the marriages dissolved more if the woman was sick, but it didn't mention WHO dissolved the marriage.

My partner (who because the most incredibly unexpected wonderful support and helped over and above the call of duty doing tx),  had a sister-in-law who became ill and left her husband before she became to sick to become dependant upon him.  

A man is unlikely to ask a woman to leave if he gets sick - generally doing the 'cave' thing.   But when a woman gets sick she is facing the nemesis of her character: nurturing, controlling, nesting.   I'd like to know how many woman 'dissolved' the relationships!!!

"Yukerina"  I like that.  Now that I'm finished and starting to feel better I may have to change my moniker.  I picked YuK because it was short and I was soooo sick and felt just plain yuck.
