Why Endometriosis and Fibromyalgia?
My wife lives with both endometriosis and fibromyalgia, both of which require nuanced understanding and management.
I’ve seen her cry through pain that medicine can’t touch, highlighting the challenges of chronic pain management. I’ve watched her question her worth, her sanity, and her future. And I’ve made every mistake a man can make when trying to help.
This blog began as my way of not giving up, not on her, not on us. It became a place where other men could learn to do the same.
But make no mistake – this space exists because of women like her, enduring the complex realities of endometriosis and fibromyalgia, and for women like you!
Whether you’re a man searching for answers or a woman wondering if this space truly sees you, you both matter. Her chronic pain, often misunderstood, isn’t up for debate. It’s valid, constant, and invisible.
Your role in her life matters more than you may realize, especially as she navigates the daily battles with endometriosis and fibromyalgia.
You may not be able to take her pain away, but the way you show up, with patience, with empathy, with a willingness to learn, can make all the difference in how heavy that pain feels.
Being her partner doesn’t mean fixing her. It means holding space for her when she can’t hold herself. This site is built for you. But every word is rooted in her experience.
Behind every word here is my own experience as a husband supporting my wife through chronic illness, sharing insights that place her needs at the heart of everything.
Why do Women Visit Us?
Though I write as a man supporting my wife through chronic illness, this isn’t “about me.” It’s about giving men tools to support the women they love with more compassion, knowledge, and patience.
That’s why over 85% of our readers are women. Many come here to see how their partners might better understand their daily pain, their mental health struggles, and the invisible battles they fight.
Others just want to feel seen in a way that isn’t cold, medical, or dismissive. Here, they do.
A Message to the Women
I know you’ve been dismissed before. I know men (even well-meaning ones) often center themselves when they should be centering you. I promise you: this site does not exist to explain your pain to you.
It exists to help the men in your life learn to:
- Hold space without judgment
- Believe you even when doctors don’t
- Stand beside you during flare-ups, not walk away
- Learn how their lack of understanding or silence can make your pain heavier
This is his resource, but it is your validation. He cannot learn without listening to you. And I cannot write anything of value without your experience as the foundation.
A Message to Caring Men
You’ve been overlooked before. When we talk about chronic illness, the focus is on her, as it should be. Her pain, her exhaustion, her daily fight deserve every ounce of compassion.
But her illness touches you too. You see her suffer, feel her mood change, and carry it in silence. It’s not selfish to admit it affects you. It’s human.
You’re not here to take her spotlight, but to stand beside her. You are rarely mentioned in her story, yet you carry so much of it. Her pain consumes her days, but it shapes yours too.
Your presence matters more than you think. Your feelings matter too. When your needs are seen as well, you can hold her through the moments that feel impossible.
