Agree!

Physician at level 1 trauma center here; a friend's H crashed his bike and now requires 24-7 custodial care. It has become the focus of their life, to the exclusion of their children and finances.

I don't feel this issue is one where a couple can agree to disagree. This isn't about someone controlling someone else's choices, this is agreeing on how to live. It's no different than the acceptable risk a couple endures financially, with their children, or their parents. Saying "just take out more life insurance" represents a real fracture in your bond.

The motorcycle is non-negotiable he says.

Married 14 years. 2 kids.

He can afford the actual motorcycle financially. It’s nut short term I’m worried about.

An accident could leave him a quadriplegic needing round the clock care or dead.

Anyone dealt with this?

I've dealt with it. Now my husband has a permanent brain injury.

He's lucky to be alive.

Good luck to you.
