I often have the ‘why don’t you just walk away from all this’ talk with my husband. We’ve been together nearly 20 years and have gradually had to accept that our life together is never going to be free from this illness. It breaks my heart that he has to live his life with so many limitations. My husband’s answer every single time is that he loves me and sees it as his purpose in life to look after me. He does this time and time again and never backs down. He’s an exceptional person, however, and has the strength to continue. Maybe you need to consider whether this is something you can continue to do.
