If you were married and something happened to your spouse and they went blind would you stay or would you leave?

If my husband went blind, he'd still be the same person that I married and love. I would stand by him most definitely. If he became ill with cancer or got in serious accident and became paralyzed I would still stand by him and pray he would do the same for me if anything ever happened to me. The only thing I can think of to make me leave would be if he cheated, lied, or abused me physically or mentally.

That's great! I wish that everybody's relationship was as strong and devoted. I do hope that this situation never happens to anyone, but am glad to know that there are couples like you and your husband are out there to stick together.

What kind of question is that? What if they lost a limb? What if they got cancer? What if? It doesn't matter. You should love them and they should love you. Marriage is a bond. It's for better or worse. It's not about anything else. If you main concern is whether they can see or not then you might have entered this marriage for the wrong reasons.

Just to let you know, I am blind. I was just curious about how people would handle it. If they would stay or if they would leave. My husband has said many times how he contemplated for a long time whether to stay or leave and I was just wondering if anybody else would hesitate. I am surely not trying to offend anybody with my curiosity, but if you deem this an offensive topic then I request that you don't enter into it.

Well if you are truly in love with them, then you would stay. If you leave, well then you know that it wasnt meant for you and that person to be together. I personally am not sure. I have mixed thoughts about the situation.

The wedding vows says "Through sickness and health" I'm gonna get married soon and when i take my vows I MEAN what I say. I'll stay whatever happens to her.

my son is blind and I know how to be with blind people. they are gifted. many I know are happily married and have strong foundation of LOve and Faith....there are cases where the blind wife or husband earn more than their spouses who are normal. many already commented that marriage is a vow/bond... very very true.... I hope to know you personally for I have high respect to blind people
