Poll, because apparently I need strangers to be blunt. If your husband did not personally tell you before the wedding that his hearing loss was severe, would you consider that a lie? Context: 1. He believed the introducer had explained it. 2. He works normally with hearing aids and lip-reading. 3. Without them, he cannot reliably understand speech, especially if you're behind him. 4. He wants to tell you now. 5. He is afraid you will feel trapped or disgusted. 6. He does not want the marriage to end. Please don't be kind for the sake of it. I need the truth.
