I am sorry I must have missed part of this question but from what I did read the thought of leaving my husband or him leaving me because of PD. We love each other and this is when we need them the most.. It is sweet of you to think of her but have you talked with her about this? If she had cancer would you feel the same way. Please have a long talk with her.

I left my husband when he said he couldn't take care of me. I told him he could have his life back. Good riddance. Why would I want him arround. 21 years of my life wasted for nothing. Now I'm alone and nomore than when I was with him.

My husband is my biggest supporter. He has his moments, but we're going through this together. Maybe your wife feels the same way. Would you leave her if she had PD?. I felt like my world was getting smaller too. People don't know what to do with you,so you just have to make up your mind you're going to live this life the best you can. It's the only life you have. It helps me to get out of the house and be with people. and not dwell on the future. Just take one day at a time. We have the choice to choose how we're going to react. I know where you're at because I've been there more than once. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going. Please don't lose hope. My mom always use to say "Where there is life there is hope"

I couldn't read your whole question,but I hope you will be encouraged.

One day at a time is the way to go. Have sincere dialog and you will make the best decision. If your mate is like merle's, let her go. If not, hang in there. My late ex-husband (or latex for short :D ) went to pieces with resentment when I would get sick. We split up and I met the passion of my life in my 60's after being diagnosed. We had a lot of fun until he died suddenly of lymphoma. So glad we had that time together.

If you had a good relationship before being diagnosed with Parkinson's ... Why should it change it certainly hasn't in our case .

We both wish he didn't have Parkinson's but he has and that's that .

The two of us have our "Moments" lol we always did before and who doesn't .. .

I am not sure he would be able to cope like I do if it was the other way around . I am sure he would do his best though ..

Not what you're looking for?
