[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if the chronic illness is a mental illness? My DH suffers from debilitating anxiety and OCD. I often fantasize about what life would be like if I were on my own or married to someone who didn't completely catastrophize every little adversity. Any change in our lives - big or small, good or bad - triggers his anxiety. Therapy and medication help but it's still ever-present. Ultimately he's the man I love and he tries to be a supportive partner and parent, but some days he feels like an albatross. [b]I'm sure I'd be judged for leaving him[/b] (I'd miss him, too).[/quote] You can't let this stop you from choosing happiness. Although in your case, it sounds like you do love your DH. If you didn't however, I wouldn't let what other people MAY or may not think stop me from leaving a miserable situation.[/quote]
