Hi Angelica-
It seems like the reason so many of us are here is because we had good marriages and it makes no sense why they are in the state that they are in. My H and I had a really good (not perfect) M. He adored me and would have done anything for me...I know did take him for granted sometimes and I expected to get my way most of the time. My H did start to change prior to the bomb...he became irritable and angry but I never foresaw what was about to happen.

I have many moments of questioning why I am here...why I don't just close this chapter of my life? I believe the reason why we continue to stand is because we are stronger and more committed than most. We did marry for better or worse, in sickness and in health. If our spouses ever come to their senses (become healthy) and see the amount of love and courage it took for us to stand under these very painful circumstances, they could not help but love us in return.

Your posts on this board are always so thought provoking and inspirational...thank you...you help so many of us here.

I hope things get better for you.
