Oh boy,

This is hitting me too close for comfort. I feel for you my friend.

I am approaching the possibility of a similar event. My W also has health concerns. The symptoms point at MS and the doctors have not done serious testing yet.

It scares her and scares me too. I held cool last time she was talking about it as well as the first time she told me. I am also afraid that heavy DB would backfire once the diagnosing gets more serious.

For some reason doctor is reluctant to push ahead with diagnosis and she is so scared that she does not even want to know.

I have a deadline coming up for telling her what I want to do about the separation. The situation makes is so much harder to decide exactly what to tell her.

If it was me in her shoes and I did not feel love any more, I would still appreciate a long time "friend" to stand beside me while I am going through the health crisis.

I would like to put the R talks on hold but she is demanding an answer by the early September and I just don't know what to do.

Hang in there.

I did not mean to hijack your thread here, but your situation is so similar to mine.

Let us know how things work for you. I'll be visiting here often.
