[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Many men, do not understand the true complexities of mental illness.[/quote]

Many _people_ don’t understand mental illness. [b]Also, many people can’t unceasingly tolerate a mentally ill spouse. [/b]If the guy isn’t giving 110% supporting his wife, there’s a problem. Expecting someone to give 110% with no end in sight is naive, however. Have reasonable expectations.[/quote]

Yeah I think this is the issue more than understanding mental illness.

Being a caretaker is TOUGH. Added to that, being dutiful and standing by your spouse through thick and thin isn't a virtue that is taught or emphasized much anymore so people's ability to cope with adverse circumstances in marriage are underdeveloped.

We're all taught to chase our own happiness and bliss no matter the cost to others. It's his one life too and it sounds like he doesn't want to spend it with a mentally ill spouse. Sucks for OP but them's the breaks.

It's her choice whether she stays and accepts his inability to cope or not.

But if she does, it's not realistic for her to expect him to support her.[/quote]
