My girlfriend couldn't leave fast enough when I told her about my HCV results. She originally told me she would give me undying support then... Adios. A phone call a few months later and never again. That was 8 years ago. Not all are nurturers. Guess I was lucky enough not to be married to her, huh? LOL (now)
I'm kind of interested in the study mentioned above. It said that the marriages dissolved more if the woman was sick, but it didn't mention WHO dissolved the marriage.
My partner (who because the most incredibly unexpected wonderful support and helped over and above the call of duty doing tx), had a sister-in-law who became ill and left her husband before she became to sick to become dependant upon him.
A man is unlikely to ask a woman to leave if he gets sick - generally doing the 'cave' thing. But when a woman gets sick she is facing the nemesis of her character: nurturing, controlling, nesting. I'd like to know how many woman 'dissolved' the relationships!!!
Hey man, nobody gave me no stinkin' Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 directions. I just took aim, hopped aboard, and rode it out.....short ride as it was.
Question: why does it take 8.000.000 sperm to fertilize one egg?
answer: they won't ask for directions.
The Church of the FSM doesn't recognize this imposter.
"Yukerina" I like that. Now that I'm finished and starting to feel better I may have to change my moniker. I picked YuK because it was short and I was soooo sick and felt just plain yuck.
