Look I've cared for the elderly, I know what it entails. I ain't about to do that for life, jo..Right! That's some hard shit to do day in and day out.
I wonder what the answers would be if the genders were reversed.
:really?:
Girl, I respect n see ur POV. Its good to have varied outlooks n ur points make sense too. Thats why I personally wouldn't be surprised if my spouse wanted to be set free, though I'd hope it'd come up beforehand..... So I'm the only one that thought Mercy kill?
Y'all really in here saying you sticking around for this?
look... I can't... My love requires body and mind. And if he really loved me, he would want me to be happy.
That's some selfish shit to ask someone to continue a monogamous relationship with a veggie. Y'all thinking about the sex, but you forgot you gotta wash and wipe his ass, put clothes on him, wheel him around every where... If I was the one paralyzed I would set that man free and get a nurse or kill myself.
If he's paralyzed from the neck down for life? That's rough. I would have to be a very committed and loving friend to him.
Get out of your feelings. I never said I'd abandon them. People adapt.
It aint gonna be a honeymoon stage or romance novel love but there will still be love. Love evolves. When y'all get very old, marriages tend to evolve into invested/committed friendships anyway. Tragedies like this just expedite that process, albeit in a lopsided way. Hence saying it's complicated. Best u can do is what u feel u'd feel was fair if the shoe was on the other foot.Loving and committed friend. Aka. Still with them, just no longer fucking... because fucking is no longer possible.
