I can totally relate. My husband had 2 heart attacks and then a double lung transplant, then another heart attack. He is not abusive verbally or physically but quite the opposite. What is so hard to deal with in my situation is the fact that he has lost his will to live. He sits around and does virtually nothing. Some household chores and cardiac rehab. He has now been like this for 3 years and it is starting to wear me down. I leave instead of staying home which complies the situation because he never complains about me not being there. So when I have thoughts of leaving I feel guilty because he's the one who is sick. I believe in my marriage vows but my emotional needs are not being met and topped off with watching him go through this is very very difficult.
