I have read a lot of responses to this lady and I agree with so many...many even expressing opposite opinions too. I have been with my husband for 18 years; married for 13. In that time Ihave supported him in his career, helped him raise his two daughters (and live with the associated bull from his ex wife) and now we have grandkids who I love as if they were my blood. During this time I have also had severe Rheumatoid Arthritis but even through surgeries I have held up my end. Last year I had a brain stem stroke and I am lucky to be alive. This last year is really the first time my husband has had to carry extra load and then only for a few months.
My husband is grumpy. He cannot say sorry. If he is in the wrong he will not admit it. He cannot be conciliatory ever. He dumps all his work stress on me. And now he says I have 12 months to'get well' or I'm out on my ear. He says he doesn't have to live the life I'm stuck with. I have a vicious pain syndrome and medication has made me put on a lot weight very quickly. My husband flapped his hand at me and said its not about sex either "because I'm not interested". In me..post stroke, fat and damaged.
My husband married a vibrant blonde with a good figure and sense of fun. He has ended up with a battered pain ridden fat old girl who considers her worth in this world every day. Do I think my husband has been robbed? Hell yes. Have I?
Move over..there is NO ONE here who has been been more robbed than me. More angry than me. More broken than me. And you know something? It could have been him. He could of had a stroke. Or gotten ill. I know had the table been turned that I woukd have looked after him. And loved him regardless. So leave if you like. Your partners illness isn't their fault ou yours...its just what life had laid out for you. Make whatever decision you want . And can live with.
