Hi how are you? I would like to say ur a very good man and I hope ur wife recovers from this condition.

Im in a similar situation as urs but im the one with Alopecia, i dont know if my boyfriend actually is really being supportive or he just pitty's me.

I sometimes think why is he with me when he can have a girlfriend who has hair?? He assumes that Im jus gona recover soon and doesnt realise that this could be an ongoing condition.

How do u feel about coping with ur wifes conditon?

Thank you and I will pass your words on to my daughter. i'm happy your wife has joined and I know she will be happy.

Hi,
I just turned 34 yesterday and have been living with AA for a little over 4years now. It's really great that your wife has your love and support and I must commend you for that it was not really easy for me as it affected me from getting into any relationship because i was afraid of the unpleasant reception I would get. I truly conquered AA in July when I met this great guy who gave me support, love and encouragement just as you are giving your wife.He helped me wear the BALD look in public and kiss the shame of AA goodbye.We will be getting married by God's grace next year.
As long as she knows that you see her and not the hair she will make it. Give her my love and kudos.

Any time!

This isn't a group anyone would chose to join, and it's a shock when you don't recognize who you see in the mirrow. I'm still not over it, but seeing and talking to others has helped. Baby steps!

Good luck to you both. She sure is lucky to have a proactive and caring man by her side. I would mention that semi permanent make up is a tried and trusted method of replacing eyebrows and even eyelashes. It is nowpossible to have the technique applied to the scalp though of course the outcome is the appearance of a buzz cut... so not for everyone. But check out this guys story on YouTube.

Hiya so glad you supporting your wife - tell you what she needs it and if there is anything other than others have already said that i can do to help i will - cause its tough very tough ride that you are "both" going to have to ride. My name is Jackie and lost all my hair without much support from my husband. I am lucky...ish its grown back but not without its problems in doing so, and am also having patches appearing from time to time and a very bad scalp condition now. I think once we have suffered with alopecia somehow our outlooks about everything change. You are on a good site here for help and support the people on here are so helpful and pull you up so so much when you are down.

Take care and hope to speak again sometime to you and well done for supporting your wife x

Hello and Welcome to Alopecia World.

Welcome,
As a single woman I know it can be very difficult to find acceptance and unconditional love as a woman with no hair. I always have to remind myself that as Jill Scott sings, "I am not my hair" I'm so much more, a real and pretty nice person (so I've been told). Please let your wife know that we are a community of people who are here to help strengthen her when she needs the extra support. And you just keep being sweet to her, that goes a very long way!
