[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You gave shitty advice.  No need to justify him being a DB.

As a spouse your spouses health and mental needs take priority over your career.  When you get married or are in a committed long term relationship you make two commitments one to the person and one to the relationship.

+100  Seriously, WTF?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband was an absolute saint when my dad was going through his terminal illness, hospice, death. He was there for every minute, supporting my mom, taking over kid duties, visiting, clearing his schedule so I could be in the hospital, spend days at my parents' house. He went through the pain of telling my then 9 and 12-year old son's what was happening with grandpa. They were INCREDIBLY close to my dad and my dad was such a large presence--hilarious, caring, involved in their lives, at all of their sporting events, sleepovers at my parents', etc.  They showed remarkable resilience and insisted on being there when my dad was dying, composing cards and letters and thanking him and that they wouldn't forget him.

My husband has a big job.  He has long hours, etc.--yet he was there for all of it.  He looked up to my dad since his own dad was a absent and a complete and total mess.

That experience in midlife really made me love my husband more.  My mom was so thankful for his support too. She stayed with us many nights since we lived closer to the hospital when he was in ICU.

Any spouse that turns their back when a loved one's family member is sick/dying or when their own spouse is ill---is a real POS in my opinion.[/quote]

Well stated. 
Man here and I always had my wife as #1 priority when she was losing her Mom whom she was very close to. Family matters. Someone you love matters. Money and a job don't in comparison.[/quote]
