His wife has been in this state for over fourteen years, incapacitated since early dementia started at 58. I don’t advocate what he did, but I can understand the healthy partner still needed to manage his life. I personally know of some couples where both are aware, after an onset of a chronic illness, that from this point forward, they won’t be able to full their spousal duties, and have given consent to the healthy spouse to discreetly go ahead. Every couple is different.
“...in sickness and in health, until death us do part.”
Cochran has a duty and an obligation to be faithful and constant to his wife until the end, no matter how long in coming. Married couples are of one body, mind, and soul, despite difficult circumstances. There is no “permission” to move on and commit adultery.
If true what the blogger did, it’s despicable. Equally despicable if Cochran has taken up with another woman — unfit for public service, if so.
Some couples don't honor their vows. I cannot imagine abandoning my marriage when my husband needs me the most.
So the "For better or worse, in sickness and health" part is just a loose guideline and not a contract with our Creator?
So much for “in sickness and in health, till death do we part. It is adultery anyway you look at it.
