I'm new here, so please understand if this question has been asked previously. I am currently in the midst of a very ugly divorce after 34 years of marriage, as my husband thinks "I've changed" as a result of my CRPS - yet he never discussed this with me before we separated. Have any of you lost long term marriages as a result of your medical condition, and if so, how did you cope with it?? It feels like such a rejection to me.
Thanks!

Hi Colleen ~ Hello from another Michigander! As I write this, it's actually 46 degrees here!!! A veritable heat wave!!!

Colleen, I haven't experienced what you have, but I must say that it would seem to me that he's just using your condition as an excuse. I would look long and hard at his "extra curricular activities." I cannot believe that after 34 years, he would use your disability as an excuse for a divorce. And I also cannot believe that ANY decent lawyer would even take his case, altho I know you can get a divorce easily in this state.

I divorced my husband after 26 years of marriage due to abuse -- If I had said it was because he had "changed" due to some disability, my attorney would have thrown me out of his office! I can BET on that.

So just a little hint -- you might better look for some clues - he's probably got some cute young thing on the side. I'd bet on THAT too. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
