@skhanyz @GaetaAmy Marriage means you've made a commitment to look after your partner through sickness. That's what marriage is. I judge men who leave.

I can’t stop thinking about how the divorce rate for men leaving their really sick wives is so high that nurses are taught to warn women patients when they get diagnosed with a serious illness

@GaetaAmy It's not an easy situation to be in. Being a caregiver is exhausting, and sometimes it just knocks you out as well, but loving someone means that you want what's best for them, even when it slowly grinds you down as well. However, I won't judge someone who decides to leave

@RachelBCam @skhanyz @GaetaAmy After I went into remission I found time to think more about what those around me went through - we have to recognise that some people can be caregivers, and some people just don't have those skills. We all fall short of "ideal" in many ways

@RachelBCam @skhanyz @GaetaAmy Not just men. Women are leaving relationships are at an all time high. Mothers breaking up households. Better to say, I judge any ‘person’, that leaves surly.
