My husband was healthy until two years ago he had his first stroke at age of 38 and discovered he is diabetic. He recovered well then, and we got married last year as we both love eath other and I didn't think his health should be an issue as long as his diabetes is well managed.
However, he had another stroke two months ago, and we went to see many doctors, and found out there are chances he will have storkes again.
Since then, we both feel frustrated and devastated as nobody knows when he'll be hit again and if he can survive. I never feel this way and can not handle it any more. I am 35 and healthy, but lately my blood pressure goes up and I have headache everyday. I just couldn't believe my life will end up this way.

I cannot talk to anyone about my feelings, and I still haven't told my parents about this. My father has high blood pressure, and I cannot imagine what will happen if he knows.
I love my husband, but I didn't expect the price of love is to sacrifice my health or even my parents' health.
