This is probably one of the greatest validating websites I have ever encountered. For many years I have hoped my wife would appreciate my love of her, and how an ANR relationship could bring us closer. Alas I have been left feeling weird or strange for my passion to breastfeed. Thank-you for this amazing site. I can only hope to have the experience and pleasure someday, and return it in some day.

I enjoyed reading of you sharing your experience, and what a blessing to be able to comfort our loved ones….awesome indeed! And I too, have enjoyed reading the personal sharing of warm loving stories by the ladies here.

Welcome JEM,
What a beautiful thing…when a husband will latch on in the middle of the night; a precious expression of love.
It’s like his life depends on it.
Thank you for sharing with us; it’s such a blessing to us all!

Luvmyhub- I am so glad you shared this here. The early joy and enthusiasm of your experience were so inspiring but so too are your experiences when life interferes. Your message of just riding the wave, going with the ebb and flow are so true. I believe being in an ANR helps couples move through these difficult times because we are brought so close by this relationship. It just may look different for a while. I hope soon you and your husband return to good health. You are both blessed with each other and caring for each other.
Rosebud-I sure hope your husband’s back is doing better! What a wonderful thing you did for him. Like a warm cocoon of love! My husband gets leg cramps at night (not often but maybe 2X/s a month). Last night he had two separate events. He tries not to wake me but I know that after he walks it out the most soothing and relaxing thing for him is to lay in bed and nurse. So I was ready both times to take him in my arms and bring him to my breasts. Of course he came willingly! They weren’t long sessions as he quickly went back to sleep both times. I stayed awake a bit longer just enjoying having his mouth gently rapped around my nipple. Although I’m a bit tired and had an early morning this morning, he is worth it.
Here’s to healthy husbands and the wives who love them! And all family members

Thank you rosebud for your story and kind words. Yes, nursing ebbs and flows, just like other areas of intimacy in our lives do especially when one is ill or physically limited. Although these times can be frustrating, they also provide opportunities for the healthy mate to minister and care for the one who is ill. I’m guessing that your husband truly appreciated the way you cared for him that day when his back went out; how sweet that the whole family was present…aren’t dogs great?!
