Oh, please. My husband has a chronic condition. Thoughts of divorce have flitted through my head many, many times. His condition has cost us oodles of money and requires constant additional work for me. It is also going to be life-long, and he probably has another 40 years to live. If we didn't have the money to pay other people to help make up for what he can't do, we probably would be divorced. [/quote]

I'm this PP. You can say I'm a shitty spouse, but like many things in life, I had no idea what our actual lives would be like once we married and had children (he was diagnosed after DC#2). It is relentless, and the kids add so much work on their own that I often feel like I've been indentured as a servant. I'm hanging in there, hoping as the kids get older that this will get easier, but I'm so worn down that I feel like the only thing I get out of this marriage is his paycheck, which I wouldn't need if I weren't caring for him, because I could work at a non-mommy-track job again.[/quote]
