A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."
The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"
Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."
If you could forgive her for her nature, then it wouldn't matter that she was uanble to help you those past years.
I know that I am unable, and unwilling to go through this again for my wife should there be another crisis for her. Sorry, that's a fact.
I love my wife despite the problems of her nature, I expect them, rather than be surprised or upset by it. It is part and parcel of the package.
