[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP and OMG and whoever else are trying to use an extremely small sliver of people one would feel compassion for (ie, man caring for 20 years for Alzheimer's spouse who hasn't remembered who he is in 10 years seeking a companion while still supporting the ill spouse) and distorting it to imply that it would be totally cool to go get a side piece while your spouse undergoes radiation treatment.

As in all things in life there is a long stretch of moral grey area in this issue but acting like it is all about sex when it is much more frequently about seeking emotional support while being a full time caretaker is insulting to all people enduring this difficult fate. [/quote]

The basic failure on your part is to acknowledge the legitimacy of sex as an ongoing need both for relationship health and for individual well being. Most others on here unstand this. Nobody is saying you should leave your spouse’s deathbed for a sexual roundevouz. But even a medical condition does not obviate the normal human needs of your partner, and it is cruel of you to invent scenarios of prolonged sexlessness.
