Yes, all of that.  And a spouses illness, even with good insurance, can leave you bankrupt.  People will often just ship the spouse off to hospice care and let them deal with it while "visiting" occasionally.  Not everyone will just take leave of their jobs for some indefinite period and care for their spouse at home nearly 24/7 as I did.  And yes, I had help come in now and then or I'd have never got through it.  I have no medical training but at that point you are their doctor, even giving shots.  And all the rest.  I don't wish it on any of you, even the most judgmental of you.  It was not my idea to see someone else for a few hours, now and then.  I never even hinted at such a thing.[/quote]

You should not get married if you don't intend to be a caregiver.  You are selfish.  [b]Only one hospice in the area has a live-in situation.  Otherwise they come to you and its only a few hours of week care.  You have no idea what you are talking about.  [/b]You are selfish.

My spouse gives me shots.  What's the big deal?  They are too painful for me to do myself.  Its life.[/quote]

I know exactly what I'm talking about.  I lived it and I know all about hospice in "the area."  You don't have no idea where I live.  Not get married unless I intended to be a caregiver?  I was a caregiver right until the very end, even quitting my job to take care of my spouse 24/7 while going deeply into debt so WTF are you talking about?  [/quote]
