Is this a bone of contention for couples?

By Concord9164 on 28 Mar 2011

I had got approved for the surgery over 10 years ago, but glad I waited because now being post menopausel I am out of the monthly swelling stages so the breasts are stable. Husband was against the surgery because of his fear of infections.....but now I am wondering...reading the FAQ sheets, if it may be another reason he is against it? Maybe he is shallow and I have a man who is selfish and wants my big boobs? I am wondering if this could be a deal breaker for my marriage? I kid you not. I am a modern woman, but feel some men might not be modern in thought. I have had 2 rotator cuff surgeries and had major back issues from my breasts so I am well aware the positives in getting this...

Was he very against the rotator cuff surgeries for fear of infection? That might tell you more than anything.

Hmm, that's a good question. I imagine it would vary from couple to couple. I know that my husband gets very concerned when I have to get anything medical done. Have you had a sit-down talk with him about the real reasons he's against it?

I hope you're able to get this done and both be at peace with everything.
