Ted, at the moment my wife and I are experience very difficult times as I have alluded to in other posts, but if there is any relief it is that we have each other to lean on.
My wife has multiple disabilities/medical problems and most things are more difficult for us than what young healthy couples experience.
I do totally understand where you are coming from and your sentiments in this post. I would wish having someone else there to share life with … good or bad.
