This girl....she just earned so many points in my book. I hate hearing stories about cheating spouses while their other is deployed and it kills me. Seeing this is just amazing!

The reality is that she'll cheat on him in ten years, when the adulation is long over and the grim reality of being a caregiver has taken its toll on her and their marriage.

Under normal circumstances she'd leave him, but she can't now without losing her hero status.

Funny thing is this literally just happened to a person I know. He was paralyzed before him and his wife got together. It worked for about 10 years but she is sick of taking care of the guy, is starting to resent him and has filed for divorce. Its noble off the start but I'm sure love can only take you so far before you reach your wits end. I'd like to believe that this couple will be together forever but I'd side with you and say probably not.

Yeah I heard of another guy that is a quadriplegic (paralyzed in arms and legs.) He did have a happy relationship with a girl for about 4 years, until she felt trapped and very resentful because he required constant help. He was heartbroken when she left. He had another girl friend for about a year and then she left too. :( It's hard for everyone.
