I have found to be true, what I heard so many times...that you really find out who your friends are. My OH’s cousin and her husband, have been pure gold. The husband takes OH out for lunch every single week...and they give us the dates a month in advance. He never misses...and OH loves to go to the pub and feel normal. Another couple who I have put off,so many times, because I was tired, or we had a hospital appointment, have faithfully kept in touch, kept offering dates...and when I expressed surprise, the wife said, ‘we were at your wedding and we were asked, will we, as family and friends, support you in your marriage? We said yes, and we meant it’. Others have melted away, but are more than made up for by the faithful ones. I hope you find this to be true too.
