[quote=Anonymous]This is very difficult, because I know both extremes.

One person I know had been in an accident and it was unclear if she would walk again, but she was such a fighter and went through YEARS of physical therapy and overcame the odds... it would be a shame to leave someone if you do truly love someone and you can see their fighting spirit.

Another friend I had was not so fortunate. Her DH is a disabled veteran. She stuck by him through and through and he seemed to be making the most of things until the PTSD hit. Now their finances and home life are in a wreck. They were and are married, but IMO their marriage felt kind of rushed and he was deployed six months after their wedding.

Apples and oranges, completely different issues but it speaks to how much of a sacrifice you are willing to make for someone based on how much you've already invested in each other and your relationship. And "love" can still be in the context of your "honeymoon phase" we know all too well.[/quote]
