I can echo you sociologygeek, Over the last 12 years or so I have become more comfortable in my own skin, but if someone were to find out I would be mortified. The only people who know outside of my general doctor and my urologist is my wife and her mother (and she wasn't pleased I told her mother). My wife feels it is no one else's business, even within the family, so it causes some anxiety when I am visiting my in laws and have to sneak around to change and hide my dirty diapers, etc. I am sure they would be supportive if they knew (they might already for all I know), but I am embarassed to test those waters, especially when my wife doesn't want me to.
That being said, my wife is extremely supportive, has been with me on multiple drug therapies, discussion of surgeries and intersims etc. she knows why I have come to the conclusion that diapers are the best management. It doesn't hurt that she also has OAB dry, and can somewhat empathize with me.
