I live with my husband who is chronically sick. He is Vietnam vet with several physical disorders. He has neuropathy, heart disease, trouble with his balance which I believe is ms. He does not want to go to the doctor again because every time he does the news is always bad. He has become distant, depressed and hardly speaks to me. He has a small part time job and I work full time. It has become so difficult feeling the loneliness and isolation that he has brought to our life. We now sleep in separate rooms because he is always in pain. We have not made love for years and it doesn't seem to bother him. I feel like I am living this life by myself. I just don't know how long I can go on. I think I would feel different if he tried to help himself. I understand your loneliness and guilt of not wanting to continue.
