No, I would not find solace in the arms of another woman. My wife is my wife, can't put it any plainer than that.

I sure feel sorry for the man in the wheelchair, but not for the wife. Seems to me that she loves herself more than her own husband.

that is terribly sad, but i am a very faithful person, i would never ever never ever go out and have an affair, and if the shoe was on the other foot. then i would have to ask the person to leave and go get a life, i could never live with the fact that he has slept with another woman.


but now i could live with just a good BOB and a beer!!!

Have to agree with Kleisto and ClayFace.

Mom has MS, and fortunately it hasn't hit her so hard. However, and lot of the men and women in the support groups we deal with are divorced because the spouse chose not to follow through on their marriage contracts, "for better and worse, sickness and health" They're amazed that my parents are still sticking it out.

I have no respect for that type of person.

If she loved herself more than him she could have dropped him off on his families door and left... she is the caretaker, she spends every moment other than working taking care of him. What she does every day is very difficult, I wonder how many who judge her harshly would be able to do what she does.

Reminds me of that old Kenny Rodgers song..."Oh Ruby...don't take your love to town..."

None of us know how we would really behave...until we've walked in their moccasins...

I doubt it.. it's easy to make a moral judgment call on others...
she doesn't sleep around. A few times a year she gets laid.

Sex is what she goes and gets
Love is the feeding, bathing and wiping of his azz.

I wish I could be more help. Its a very sad situation, poor guy. Her as well, just that he didnt ask for it to happen. To be in the shape that he is. And, if I were he...even though I was in a state that I couldnt please my wife. And I knew this, it would be terribly hard, but I could live with that. I dnt think I could live knowing that my wife is taking care of me, then leaving that nite to have sex. I know she wants it, tho I had rather she not put me thru that. That would be harder!!

ok so she didn't sign up to for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health? shouldn't have got married then and lets face it, it's the poor husband who needs sympathy not his tramp! ofcourse there are other ways she can satisfy her 'needs' without slutting it and using her husbands condition as an excuse to justify it!!

Would it be different if they were just shacking up and not married?
Is is just that it was a marriage that makes it repulsive...
In 12 years of marriage, she never cheated on him.
It is so easy to judge others when we are not living their lives....

no, cheating is cheating and using your partners condition as an excuse to justify it is the repulsive part.

two times now you have said she uses his condition as an excuse...
You don't have enough information to make that kind of a call.
Rather judgmental today aren't we....
All I know is they are both my friends I love them both and it is terribly painful for both of them and my heart goes out to them, and to you. :heart:

YOU mentioned cheating?

Have a question? I read about this older man on a diffrent site who was married for 18teen years to his wife with cancer! she died 3 yrs ago.

Anyway, he would be with men! and yet he jusified it by saying I never cheated on my wife with a women??????

In terms that was correct! he did not but he did with a man... but in his eyes it was not even close to the same thing>

I guess cheating is looked at several ways.

When I was talking to my son this morning, he made a remark about his father, he said! Cheating is in the eyes of the beholder, if one never have intercourse then it is not cheating, and yet even a kiss from a different partner can be considered cheating for the entire marriage is based on one thing and only one thing.

YOU gave your entire self, soul, body and mind to that person so no other person should have you!

Funny we think the Vagina and the Penis is what cheating is all about?

And yet it is a lack of a emotional feeling that is missing! no wonder there are so divorces.

yes exactly...
a kiss can be so much intimate then sex....yet many married people kiss another and say, I just kissed him it wasn't cheating...sharing your deepest secrets with some one other than your spouse is intimate.. yet again..I did cheat. Cheating can be defined in different ways.
