She never cared for a terminally ill person for YEARS. It wears on you and if you aren’t doing it for the sick person, you will most likely quit in short order. Indeed, that is true love, putting another’s needs ahead of your own.

I don’t doubt that. I went through a year of taking care of my spouse and I can’t imagine having to do it for the rest of my life. OTOH, I made a deal when I asked her to marry me and I do love her. Therefore, I am morally obligated to take care of her regardless.


How convenient of her to take use the system when she’s sick and dying and running out of money. So now she’s a hypocrite on top of everything else. Bah!

If you’re forced to pay into an “investment” why should you refuse to get your money back when eligible? There isn’t anything hypocritical about that.
