What would you do if your spouse became physically disabled after you were married?

[Richardceorl1]

Are you divorced?
Or will you help?

[OlderAndWiser]

I got married at age 32. My wife was 36. Within 2 years, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, stopped working, and started receiving a small Social Security disabilty income. I remained married to her for another 15 years and we ultimately divorced for reasons that were not directly related to her disability.

My Mom lost a leg; Father lost her interest in her.
That somewhat shaped myself of course, and I still feel disgusted about him (even though he later improved a little - but too late to save their marriage).
I guess, I can do better.
If ''our'' limitations become -say- 'difficult', there are other fields where I can possibly compensate; this could be running for President, become a motivational speaker, or just contribute more here on GaG :)

If he was disabled before or after we got married?
Either way, I wouldn’t leave him, period. That is my husband and I value staying true to wedding vows… “in sickness and in health.” I would help him.

A wise real lady 😌👍🏻

"In sickness and in health"

I'm staying with them, because I'll still love them.

[clampfan101]

My thoughts exactly.

[EmmaMary]

We both made our marriage vows which included the words "In Sickness And In Health"

Hell would need to freeze over before I even started contemplating either leaving or divorcing my husband.

[PrettyPriya]

I would 1000% help and stand by his side. Love knows no boundaries. I would stay with him forever, no matter the circumstance.

[TrueConfection]

I wouldn't leave because of a disability. I wouldn't stay only because he's disabled either. Basically, my feelings wouldn't be any different than they are now.

[Luckyman298]

I would help. I'm religious and really don't belive in divorce plus I take the vows for better or for worse super seriously. Plus I have an amazing partner who I know would not abandoned me so I could not even consider doing that to her

[BCA6010]

No chance in hell I'm leaving her over a physical disability, especially if we are married. It wouldn't even make her undateable.

[SnakeBoop]

if they were when we married, surely i'd therefore know and that would mean I'd be staying?

[NathanDavis]

I'm a decent human being... if that's what you're asking

[sage2021]

I would stay with them unless they were abusing me and yelling at me everyday.

[exitseven]

The deal was In Sickness and in Health. I would stay and take care of her.

[TonyMetal___86]

Help for sure, i won't marry a girl to divorce her, of she becomes disabled than i'll take care of her and be sure that she never feels disabled!

[BigManSAB]

That’s the exact reason why you don’t get married for beauty. If you marry someone because of their physical attractiveness. You’ll divorce the moment that’s gone!

[Prof_Don]

I take wedding vows seriously, I’d stay with my partner, whether in sickness or in health.

[Massageman]

We both feel like it now - we have to help each other.

[jasco]

I don't know. Honestly theirs one part of me that says divorced and another side says don't do it

[clampfan101]

Follow our vows. You’d have to be heartless to simply ditch them.

[llorando]

Would do absolutely nothing, I'd love her just the same.

[Leonharted]

Without a question, I'd help. I made a vow.

[InYourHead]

Definitely help. For better or worse

[TylerKuykendall]

I’d stay because I’d still love her.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Have to stay and help her.

[msc545]

Take care of her of course. What else?

[JesseJayNeak]

I’d help. I mean in health and sickness.

[anylolone]

Help.
