[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL. "Until you live it." Guess what, until you live to become an older person you have no idea, and apparently you can't fathom that others and you will still have feelings and needs as strongly as you do now. [/quote]

This has nothing to do with anything. If you are in your seventies and married 50 years just punting because you don't want to take care of a spouse is lame. This happens more than you think. I always think it is interesting that people go to the "abuse abuse abuse scenario." What if it truly is that spouse is really self centered and thinks hey my kids can take care of my partner since I want to date. I go back to if you are punting on a longterm marriage and I am not talking shorterm, I am talking when people are getting old, you need to agree to a plan if your plan is to go on vacations and leave you sick spouse. Again I would if I were OP and I have in my situation told my father that he definitely should have a plan in place as I am not doing it again on my own. Nor should OP. Mom has money for vacations to South American, so mom should have longterm care in place. If OP wants to visit to say hello then fine, just like her mom would call time to time. Putting myself out again, I don't think so. Usually the people who are angry are the ones who are living the selfish way. Luckily this nonsense is only happening in my family, my spouse family is responsible and normal. I would have no problems there.[/quote]
