[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Luck is not a thing which exists. Trust, fidelity, integrity, commitment, love, and honor are some of the ingredients of a successful marriage. Lick is a justification people use to explain their particular negative marriage situation and ultimate failure. [/quote]

How would you describe a marriage that failed because [b]one partner became mentally ill? [/b]That wasn’t a failure of any kind on the part of the other person.[/quote]

See: commitment[/quote]

You can be as committed as you want to the marriage, but if they start hearing voices in their head which they believe is a supernatural being, and the voices tell them to leave you, it's over.[/quote]

That is an extreme example. My dh has OCD and has gone off the deep end a few times. We work together to maintain his well being. I can't address your specific situation, but we knew about the diagnosis going into marriage.[/quote]

It is not an "example" it is what actually happened to me. Such delusions are rare. And thus to have a marriage fail because of them is extremely unlucky, wouldn't you say?

I got quite a bit of professional advice to the effect that "you can't fix this, nobody can" - so anyone who blathers to me about "commitment to the marriage" is simply an ignoramus.[/quote]
