My mother stayed with my dad for 63 and saved him many times. My ex left me for another woman, good riddance as I see it years later...she had to take care of him. He's dead now. My daughter got very sick in a 17 yr marriage and she's working to piece her life back together and raise her 2 children...her ex is dead now too at 55... We all have stories... I won't die for anyone either. Just so so happy I never re-married. I knew better for my sanity. Take care. C
