I always go back to the fact that the entire time I was with x Mr. GB that I always wondered what would happen if I got sick. I always *knew" he wouldn't be able to take care of me. Not that he wouldn't want to-simply he doesn't have the capacity
Aw, man - that was me too! My ex had a lot of good qualities, but I always figured I couldn't count on him if a catastrophic illness hit (actually, while not catastrophic, he couldn't even deal with my thyroid problems.) Now I'm with a man who would do anything for me OR my family. He has nursed a sick adult child when I had to work, I'm pretty sure if my mom became demented he'd be right there with me changing diapers, you name it he would do it out of love for me. It's so refreshing.
