    my wife can`t separate caregiving w/ wife

    I am waiting on my husband's diagnosis. We will get the results this week. I have been concerned about this area of our relationship. I get concerned because he is not interested but I am scared that if we do not enjoy the "good" years then intimacy may not even be an option down the road. Have you expressed your desires to your wife? My husband is not at a point where he wants to talk about any part of MS. So I do not have this option but I think a rational person may be willing to hear your concerns. Good luck!

      don`t worry about what may happen. live today like it`s your last (ms or not), we did talk about it and have come up with some ideas (no pun intended). good luck to you.

        Hey Dave, this is a touchy issue, and I know what your going thru. My hubby is very understanding and I am lucky in that he knows how important intimacy is to me and that most of the time I do try my best to keep things as good as they were pre-ms time.

        But I know that it's hard not to feel discouraged. After all, the closeness that a husband and wife share is something that cannot be beat!!

        I'm not sure that i have any ideas or suggestions for you, but just know that alot of us do have this issue also. I guess maybe keep the lines of communication open and make sure your wife knows that if you could reverse the ms that you surely would. When we can't move like we used to, it makes intimacy so frustrating! Good luck to you and yours!!
