Get out. Get out now. You can sacrifice your life and be controlled by all this nonsense about how you "can't feel this way" - extraordinary! - and how "you're a bad person" or you can ease away and find a life.

The longer you stay the worse you will feel. The longer you stay, the more ill your partner - who has done nothing wrong and is not at fault - will become, and the more drowned in his illness you will become.

My husband has a chronic illness which means that we do nothing, all day long, year after year. I'm the sole earner. He wants to do nothing - though he is physically capable - but if I manage to prise him from the bed I have to pay for everything which means that unless I go somewhere on my own we don't go far.

He's a good, loving man. And I have a life too, one that is small and miserable.

Get out now. Hater's are going to hate, and they're going to tell you that you're a piece of shit because they would like nothing more than to reclaim their life too.

Get as much support as you can for your partner in place. And then go.
