[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, quit with the vague bullshit. What's going on? If your spouse is withholding sex and affection, and being mean then leave. The illness or lack of one makes no difference. If the spouse is expecting you to do things you can't do such as ditch work to serve them tea and toast in bed, then leave. If the spouse is refusing to participate in activities that are enjoyable to you then leave. My point is the spouse ill or not has to meet you halfway. He or she can use a wheelchair if walking or standing is difficult. They can quit work so they have energy for you. There may be tasks that make more sense for you to do but that doesn't mean the spouse gets to sit on their ass and not contribute to your emotional and sexual health. If your spouse is able to sit at home all day, parts of their body work. Their mind works. Both can be used to be a loving partner. If the spouse chooses not to do that, then leave. For you, you have to realize that parts of their body and mind may not work as well as other people. Still, and this is a quote from Stephen Hawking, "no matter how bad things get, there is always something you can do and be proud of". It's up to the ill spouse to do that and not regard the well spouse as a servant.[/quote]

Quoting Stephen Hawking for marital advice? LOL! :P [/quote]
