Betsey The fact is that I feel awful and it's very difficult to convince me that someone is going to want me after all of this.

Sorry you feel like that Betsey. With out it looking like I was kitting on you, can I say I would want you if we were the same age and I was single.

From inside this guy’s body I live in, I can tell you at the age of 45, I was over wanting to be a new dad and a woman not being able to have another baby was a plus equipment wise. Other things counter more, such as did she still has a fair amount of emotional/physical desire to be with me.

To me, and I can imagine other 45 Yr old males have similar feelings, seeing you go through times of discomfort, hormonal swings and pain associated with uterine problems, wasn't something I liked to see my W go through.

Sure, life is different after a hysterectomy. but most people do well and I don't see women as less of anything other than Less in pain and discomfort.

As I age, not being able to have kids becomes a bigger plus every year. FWIW.

I respect what each woman feels/thinks. I just wanted to give my male POV and hope it helped you see, you can and will still be desirable no matter what happens.

Betsey, Best wishes and I hope things work out well for you.

Remember 2:30 most Sundays, King Ave IHOP, inside NE corner.
