marriage does not equal freedom from worry

Horsefeathers. Perhaps your comment wasn't meant to belittle my story; however, I found it callous and anything but empathetic.
Being married will not stop my hair from falling out. It will not make me stop apprehensively counting the hairs that fall out in the shower. It will not give me more (or fewer) options of how to combat my hair loss. Marriage will not make it any easier to apply X-Fusion each morning.
My husband is supportive. If I was single, then my family and friends would still be supportive. My relationship status has nothing to do with how I feel about my hair loss or if I would have a support network or not.
If I was single and dating a guy who stopping seeing me because of my hair loss, then I would not consider that a bad thing. If my husband left me for the same reasons, then I would be disappointed with myself for marrying a fool. Because I would not want to be with someone like that. I would look for a better man, regardless.
My feeling of defeat came from my doctor telling me there was nothing I could do. Marriage could not prevent the discouraging pain I felt from that.
