My DH passed away 4 years before I was diagnosed so I have no idea how he would have reacted. I like to think he would have been supportive but men deal with things differently than women do.
Life is what happens while we're making plans. I love that quote because it doesn't matter who you are or what you do......life continues to happen to us all.
It sounds like he'd benefit from some counseling. Maybe that would be something you two could do together.
I understand that he doesn't want to face the fact that you have MS but that's not conducive to helping you deal with it, either. I hope he comes around and is more understanding and supportive.
