[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two years ago after 17 years of marriage, I got diagnosed with MS.  I'm exhausted all the time, and I've gained some weight.  I try and eat healthy, but sometimes I just want simple carbs.  I also have to walk with a cane now.  DH has to help me significantly after my treatments.  Our sex life is different, less exciting, and less frequent than before as I have limitations now.  He still loves me as much as the day he married me because we are together in sickness and in health, and I feel the same way.  [b]If you don't have the same level of love and compassion for each other as when you married each other, you need to think long and hard about whether you guys can reclaim that (therapy, communication workshops, etc) OR if you should decouple.[/b]

Having seen loved ones go through cancer, ALS, and from my personal experience, I advise people considering marriage that your spouse is now your family.  If in their time of need, you won't help them use the restroom, take a sponge bath, or change their catheter, etc., then you shouldn't be married as that is true love.  I firmly believe marriage should be about true love, and true love does take work and compassion.   [/quote]
How is your situation at all comparable to OP's. He doesn't even want to walk the dog.[/quote]

I recommend therapy/something to reclaim the love or decouple given OP's DH is struggling with something (I don't want to armchair diagnose him even though I'm a psychologist).[/quote]
