Endometriosis divorce rate.
I have found limited information during my research on the specific divorce rate among couples where one partner has endometriosis. However, some studies suggest that endo can have a negative impact on relationships, mainly from a point of view of sexual desire and sexual function, which could potentially lead to a higher divorce rate. You can find out more about it in this very post: https://www.worryhead.com/endometriosis-divorce-rate/ Depending on the stage and type of endometriosis, the variety of endometriosis symptoms, and many other factors, it may or may not contribute to relationship problems and divorce. However, I am living proof that by being a supportive husband to my wife, we could manage endometriosis and maintain a very healthy relationship. And you can too! Experts say that chronic illnesses increase the risk of divorce from the norm of 40-50% to as much as 75%. Saying that amongst couples with endometriosis, the divorce rate raises because there are other issues that often occur, such as loss of sex life. But no one talks about men who feel the loss. They are more likely to have an affair. That itself leads to betrayal and broken hearts. But the impact of endometriosis on the couple’s sex life and a higher risk of infertility isn’t all married people have to deal with. The emotional, mental, and psychological toll this chronic illness has on the couple is another reason for the higher endometriosis divorce rate. Anxiety over the unknown future, depression caused by trauma, loss, guilt, and grief, are among the issues. Even physically healthy relationships have problems. But endometriosis can be a big deal if there is no communication and understanding between two people. Loving a woman with endometriosis can be challenging, but I’ve learned after 13 years how to manage our ups and downs. If you want to learn how, I invite you to check my blog.
