(321 posts)but it has to be a personal choice as to what the person decides to do. That scenario may not be right for someone but completely right for someone else. I can't and won't judge someone based on if they decide to date or not.
Example: My uncle was married to a woman who had huntington's disease. There is no cure and the individual who has it is on a long slide downward. She was violent to the point he would have to go out and sleep in the woods behind his house. He stayed with her until their son was 16 so that he (the boy) could legally decide with which parent to live with (and also to protect him from his mother). On his 16th birthday he took his son and left. He did not divorce her though, and he did support her for the rest of her life. He did start dating after he left her.
For him to not want to have some happiness in his life, to me, seems far fetched and a cruelty after what he had lived with for almost 20 years. I can't see judging him badly, or at all for that matter on his decision.
Like I said, and PLEASE take this point that I am making to heart........ what is the right situation for one person doesn't make it the right situation for another.
