It's more than just words of support. It's daily checks to see how he's doing. It's one ex=-wife sneaking in to see him at the hospital when I'm not there. It's another ex-wife doing his laundry, visiting in the hospital, cooking him meals, texting him daily to see how he is. I could go on, but you get the point. And I didn't even mention that he has a blog that updates his progress, so none of these women have to contact him to see how he's doing, they can just read the blog. He did tell the one ex-gf not to visit him, but now he's texting her daily and she asked if he would call her...
I know I'm crazy to stay with all of that going on. I just don't want everyone to think I'm the kind of woman who leaves a man when he gets sick. And I can promise you he would not be honest with anyone and tell them the real reason I left. Don't say that I shouldn't care what other people think, because I do. I also think a positive mindset for him is essential to surviving this disease. I don't want to do anything that would negatively impact his emotional well-being right now.
