I couldn't get past the anecdote about the woman leaving her man because he was ''sick''. when you take wedding vows, you usually promise to stand by your spouse through sickness and health. you cannot imagine how much I despise a person who would do such a thing. marriage (or any relationship) is not always 50/50. in order to make a relationship or marriage work, one always needs to be ready to take the burden at least for a while, if not for the rest of the time the two have on earth. my parents started their family and it was good. as time went on, my dad started getting a bit sick in the head. he was abusive to all of us in the family. he drank too much, and he kept pornography. all of which society tells us is unhealthy, to say the least. then the accident happened. my mother was in the hospital for a considerable time. My dad started changing. he became more supportive of my mother. she slipped into a kind of dementia. he stopped being abusive to all of us in the family. he lived the rest of his life supporting her. when you love someone, how can you stop loving them? every woman and boy that I have loved, I still love. |
