Re: How does your significant other deal with this diet/condition?

Hey brother. My wife and I have been married almost two years now, and it's been tough lately with me being sick. I guess I'm lucky in that she is as committed to this diet as I am, which is 100%. I'm sorry about your girlfriend not totally understanding.One thing I can say is this. It would be easy to for me to preach that it's her problem, she needs to be a better person, you need someone who loves you for you, blah blah blah. I just know that for others it is hard to be with someone who is sick and limited, and it's not fair to us, but we need to acknowledge it and deal lovingly with it, to ourselves and our loved ones. I have to forgive my wife if she gets exhausted dealing with me being sick. Nobody's perfect. As far as dealing with it, I want to encourage you to be creative specifically to her. Get you a very dry bottle of wine to share with her one night, make yourself a vodka/club soda with saccharin at the bar, make a special lunch for her one day as a suprise so she doesn't have to do anything. Those things show her that she is just as important to you as the diet (which might be the issue under it all). Hope this helps, trust me, I've been there. jonathan
