Acceptance by your spouse

[BAB]

Thanks for the "go topless" suggestion. Will do so immediately, especially at night.

Does your wife take off her bra as soon as she gets home? Does she go braless around the house? What does she sleep in on top? Do you know her bra size?

[BAB]

Doesn't take it off immediately, but she does go braless around the house. Loose top for sleeping. She is a42DD.

Then she understands the need to wear a bra for comfort and appearance

My other half is a DDD.  She wont let me touch her and yesterday told me I needed to put on a shirt because of them being rounder now they are now in “obscene” territory.

All I can advise is, "baby steps".

It sounds like your S.O. has a problem with the "optics of it", and what others might think. I went through the same.

Unfortunately there was no resolving the situation in my case, but I have heard of S.O. coming around to accepting things in time.

"Wives that were adamantly against bra wearing started bra shopping with their husbands"

Acceptance isn't something that we alone must work on, it also pertains to those around us.

A few years ago someone did a survey of women's opinions and reactions to men with developed breasts.While some were blasé about it, overwhelmingly, the ladies' responses were negative - ranging from "Not for me" to "stay far, far away" to "Yecch!"
Gets complicated when the lady is a significant other.  As posters here have related.  For those guys whose wives have accepted and even embraced their guys' gyno - be thankful.
For the rest, when it comes to steps - baby or big - tread very, very lightly.

Well, the nips are really showing and sore. So decided to forego the gyno shirt. Didn't think the spouse would notice, wrong. Came home from a doctor's visit and, "For God's sake put your gyno shirt on, that's why we got them". You folks were right, go and show them.

I have found those shirts, uncomfortable. I assume you do, as well. Have you said anything to your wife about the discomfort? She wants you to wear your compression vest around the house?  Why?

[BAB]

Avoidance of the issue. Going to the cardiologist tomorrow,  no shirt then just the girls hanging out. At 3 to 4 hours the shirt comes off with a " that was painful". Baby steps. Wonder what the nurses will say attaching the EKG?😀😁😁

Good Luck and be proud of how you are. Health care professionals have dealt with everything. I pity these young guys having surgery for gynecomastia that is hardly noticeable.

Re: EKGs - very unusual for the med staff to comment on it, for at least 2 reasons:
1-They see it regularly.  Gynecomastia is almost a normal thing with cardio patients (combination of the usual development from age related diminished T, and common side effects of medications to keep them alive).
2-In the current socio-political climate they almost never make comments they think might lead to administrative backlash.
3-They have seen so much it's just not that big a deal for them.

I've had a lot of EKGs, but never a comment.  And, as can be seen, mine are 'noticeable'.

In my past experience, nothing. Or they will provide cover with a sheet or gown. Two years ago I had a sonogram of my heart performed. The tech, a male, covered my chest with a sheet and did the entire procedure by touch. Something I am sure he has done many times with female patients. I did not ask for that but appreciated he took the preemptive initiative. I was not the first.

I have had many EKGs in the past, and nothing is ever said. This last time the lady said, "sorry ma'am" as she lifted my boob to attach a lead. That was a nice change. ☺️

That's awesome they see gyno and don't care. The spouse will have the issue, so be it.  My breasts have been itchy/achy for some time and the nips are at attention. Her discomfort is so much than my physical discomfort right now. Sorry for being grumpy.
