Oh my word this is so close to my situation but the other way around. I have been married to my wife for 12 years and knew at the time of us meeting that she has just been diagnosed with m.s. I was 20 at the time and she was 24, she was wonderful in every way and loved every single bit of me and me the same to her, we had 2 amazing children aged 9 and 5. They and my self have grown up with their mum and my wifes condition getting worse and worse. I had to give up work in 2011 to look after my wife and our children. Her condition now is edging on Primary Progressive, she can no longer care for her self, has incontinence and last week collapsed and is now in hospital as I write this 300 miles from home. I have amazing support from my wifes parents and with the issues of this week have had my family step up to the mark for pretty much the first time. My wife will not be coming out of hospital for the time being because I have made a very selfish decision to insist on funding for 2 permenant carers for her as I have had enough. It has been very hard and I am getting a little upset writing this but I have lost my wife to the illness. She thinks things are ok but they are not, I just need some normality for the first time in 10 years. I am always though toying with the thought that I would love to meet another woman, not for the sexual side of things but for sharing, someone I can walk with and talk with, someone who I can have a laugh with and enjoy life again. My only advise is to be honest with those around you and your self, if it is too tough admit it and tell people what you want for a change, you live only once in this world and there needs to be a balance between stresses and enjoyment in life. I am praying for your situation God Bless you.
