[QUOTE="RitchieDavies, post: 1194077, member: 48751"] Ha, now that was unnecessary, you being condescending I mean. I may very well be young, but I am a man, not a boy and my youth doesn't make my point any less valid. One doesn't have to live long to realize that life is filled with disappointments and that in this world, people screw each other over no matter how close they are said to be. I thought we were taught that as children... ehh, I suppose not all of us were. Allowing yourself to be blinded to this fact by feelings like "love" is what I'd call childish. Things don't always go as you wish and people are not always what they say they are - THAT is a fact. "What would you do if you married someone and they became ill? Would you care for them or would keep a balance sheet to track how much they were costing you? Do you plan to keep a score card on how much your kids cost you? Do you keep track of all your relationships with people to make sure you come out ahead?" Ok, now you're just insulting my character and integrity (sincerely I anyone? lol). I still have a sense of loyalty and honor (I supposed that makes me outdated lol); hell, I'm probably one of the few people who can say that. NO, I'm not going to bolt, cheat on or keep a "balance sheet" of how much an ill wife would be costing me - I'm there to the very end. You can believe that. And no, I wouldn't do that with the kids either and have not nor will not do that with my relationships. "My uncle's wife has Alzheimer' disease.
