Hi sinead. I have been suffering from Ibs for more than 7 years. Although I have extrmely supportive and loving parent who understand my IBS completely,there is a special bond with my husband. He understands when we need to run out of somewhere and he knows when I am passing out in the bathroom so that he can put a sheet on the floor in case I loose my strenght. He does not come in because it break my concentration but he hangs around the bathroom waiting for me to come out and help me to bed. With all this what I am trying to tell you is that I wish you all the happiness in the world and that in my humble opinion marriage is the best thing that has ever happenned to me.I am sure everything will turn out perfect
