Now, I'm middle-aged. My husband is 66, it's a different story. Would I ever expect a 24 year old man to give up his life to sit by my bedside wiping the drool off my face and wiping my ass? The answer is no. If I loved him, I'd want him to lead a wonderful life. If I were the kind of woman who would want that, I wouldn't deserve a man like him.
Sorry... I guess I have always misunderstood love. I thought love is sacrifice. Hildy, may God bless you. I'm through with this discussion.
So am I.
My hubby just turned 67.
We've been married 45 yrs.
Neither of us would want or expect the other to, wipe each others drool or rear ends.
