[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]If my husband was doing his best to correct whatever the situation was, I would stay. If he was in denial, or refusing to do some thing to make the situation better, I would probably leave.[/b]

We went through a very rough patch where my husband was out of work for almost 4 years. The reason I didn’t leave is because he worked every single day at getting a job.  He wasn’t sitting around watching TV, he was on the phone and doing his best. It was a long, hard road but I really respected how hard he tried. He’s been gainfully employed for several years now.[/quote]

This.  
If he wasn't able to walk anymore and ended up wheelchair bound, then I would stay with him.  I would help him get to doctor's appointments, make the house wheelchair accessible, install railings and chair lifts and all if it.  However, if he wasn't able to walk anymore, and was dragging himself around on the floor denying that anything was wrong, then I would go.

I know that the above sounds silly, but there is a mental health equivalent to this that is less obvious to outsiders, but just as ridiculous to the people living through it.

You have zero understanding of mental illness. It is not at all like your example. Mental illness impacts on cognitive functioning, thought content and process, perceptions, insight, judgment, decision making, motivation and many other mind based functions. [/quote]
