Exactly, Kathy. I have a friend whose husband drives her crazy every time
she is ill - had *brain* surgery last year and his biggest concern was how
soon she would be able to return to work. She knew every time he asked how
she felt, he had a hidden agenda behind it. Poor thing has had several
serious health problems annually for the last 3 years. I told him exactly
the same thing you told Steve. He too had a sick mother he tended until she
died and married for the first time in his early 40s. I reminded him that
every time we love someone there is always risk involved, one way or another;
if not health problems then something else.
Needless to add, she is getting divorced at present. -chris
