Your spouse or loved one...

I don't think I would leave him over that! Like you said for better or for worse and that is definately worse. It would be hard but I could live with it because I love him so much.

i discussed this with my bf before, and i have to admit that when faced with the actual situation, it's not as easy to deal with. but if something like that happened to my bf/husband, i will still stick by him and take care of him. i believe relationship/marriage is not only about 'performance', but it's about love for each other

What kind of a shallow person does that? Did her marriage vows say "for better, unless you get paralyzed or get a terrible disease"? I really feel sorry for him but truthfully, maybe he is better off not being with her. When you take those vows it means I will still be your spouse even if you get MD and suffer in a wheelchair for the last 20 years of our lives. It means I will be there if you go blind or get cancer or get Alzheimer's disease and don't know who I am. People who are not ready to make that committment should not be allowed to get married. Chances are pretty high that something bad is going to happen to one of you at some point in life. I would not want to be married to someone who was going to bail out when things got difficult.

I would absolutely not leave my husband over that! I love him too much. When two people get married they vow to be together in sickness and in health. Your friend is selfish!

I would stay with him as you say it is through thick and thin bad times and good times so I would stay with him and take care of him as I do love him very much

I would never leave my spouse for any reson especially that one, when you take your vows they state"in sickness and in health, through good times and bad" Isn't this one of the situations where you should stick by their side no matter what? You loved this person before the accident, does that change the person that they are on the inside? No it does not.

I would stay beside him no matter what.

No I would never leave my husband if that ever happened. Like the vows say for better or worse and that would definetly be worse. It would be hard but I would always stand by him.

I would stand by my man. No matter what! I would NEVER never never leave him over something like that. What control does he have over something like that!? Thats ridiculous. And, obviously, your friend didnt truly love her husband. She should have never married him if she couldn't deal with bad things happening. What if she were the one who had become paralyzed? Would she feel bad if she were booted, just because of that?

That is a tough decision. I wouldn't personally leave my wife but who am I to call the shots for others. Maybe your friend's marriage was on the rocks before.

I completely agree with you. When I said my vows, I said in sickness and in health for better and for worse. I don't care what could happen, but I will stand by my husband through anything until the day that I die.
