Judy,

Nothing psychosomatic about all this, as you know! Who needs pretend when you've got the real thing. I know how he feels, though. Until I found this site last month I had the same thoughts.

You know, years ago my husband said that I had a low threshhold for pain. I actually believed him. After all, he knows everything. Then, while he was writhing in pain from something I considered fairly small, it occurred to me that he couldn't possibly have any way to judge my level of pain. He has never mentioned it again - especially since my battle with OC began 3 years ago.
