I can sort of relate to the above, i am 28 yrs old, been married to my husband who is now 33 yrs old for 9 years. 3 years ago he was diagnosed with a rare condition called "MELAS", and since then has been medically boarded, not working, stays at home, and his condition has deteriorated. I do not have children with him and as bad as it sounds, im grateful i dont because looking after him is a fulltime job. But being at my age im evaluating my life, and i would like to have a child one day, have a husband who will look after me instead of vice versa, and be there for me physically and emotionally, both of which i am not getting at the moment. I fear that guilt will overcome me and ill be looking back wen im 40 yrs old and thinking to myself "what if" and the possibilities i am at the moment throwing away because i think of him first. i am stuck in a rut and dont know what to do.
