[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you people ever lived with someone with a chronic illness?  Do you know how angry and mean they can be?
Those with chronic illness take their anger and frustration out on the person closest to them...their spouse.
Do you know what it's like to be critisized and screamed at, while still being expected to care for them, clean, cook, shop and work full-time?  You get no support, sex or intimacy.
It's miserable.  Don't judge.  You truly have no idea.[/quote]

I went through this recently. DH got injured and was in a lot of pain. He was Hell on Wheels to deal with. I told him, after he'd recovered, that if he became ill or injured again, I would not care for him. I would send him to a nursing home. I could not take the abuse. It was unbelievable. Not physical, but screaming, ordering me about, bitching constantly, demanding, complaining, criticizing, and blaming me for everything that wasn't going right. DH is NOT like this at all normally. But when he was in constant pain, he was impossible to live with. I made a marriage vow, but no one should put up with something like this. I can't do it. Not again. It was horrendous. [/quote]
