Husband said he's dumping me! Questions about insurance.

[worrywortmom]

Husband said last night he has had it with me and that this is it! Now that he know's that he's hep-c free. I've been having a hard time talking to him about the diease and when he found out I got on janis7hepc.com and chatted he was furious. If he leaves does his insurance have to cover me while being sick? Or will I be dropped, hope there is someone out there that has the same problem! Fresno calif.

ask your hubby for a separation instead for a year first...to see if things can be worked out or counciling etc...then you will also still be covered by his insurance...perhaps what caused you two to get married in the first place is worth the year of working on it...???

if he cops out in the middle of the separation...drug companies also have arrangements they can do to help those who need to continue their treatments when finantial problems arise..

i pray all will work out for you...its so sad that he would be so nasty at this most important, sensitive time for you...do you think there is a chance he could come to his senses? i pray so...

He doesnt realize that I need the support of people who are going through what I am. That everyone here can answer questions that I dont have a clue about. I wont stop comming to this forum of stop chatting with hep-c people. Last night a very special person gave me her telephone number and I talked to her for hours. I was a blessing. She answered alot of my questions. And if it means getting a divorce or stop talking to people that can help ease my mind then so be it.

Yes he is a jerk, he found out that his cholerterol is high and more worried about that then me. I realized that when he wanted to go get him fish and when I asked to get me some water he said no! He wasn't stopping anywhere. Thanks for the advice. I will contact the insurance company to find out what my options are. Just cant believe that he's pulling this now. He said that he would be my support system but I cant see that happening. I would hate to be him infront of a judge now.

I think you will find that you will have access to coverage under cobra - even post divorce - should that come to pass. It is not cheap - but it's better than the alternative. Financial arrangements would be negotiated as part of the divorce agreement.

The fact that he is a jerk won't have much bearing one way or another with a judge. It's just a question of equitably dividing the asset and revenue pies. His moral fortitude could play on custody issues - but little else I think.

These are just my gut impressions.

Good luck.

Well, another jerk rears his ugly head!  I went through the same thing when I found out I had Hep C and that was over a year ago.  Hang in there and know you can count on us at this site.  This is a very lonely disease, but you can get through it.  I couldn't have done it without this board.
