My girlfriend has MS (Multiple Sclerosis [many scars in Latin]). I've been told how "kind' or "honorable" I am for staying with her, and how uncommon it is for a man to stay with a handicapped woman. I knew she had MS when we first got together in 1995. Is it just generally accepted that a man will just abandon a woman with health problems? What the fuck is wrong with people?

MS treatment is so complicated I only learned of how bad it gets from a longtime friend in Russia afflicted with it and the idea of doing that in a pricier medical system is terrifying. Yeah, those people must hate love or something. I believe many remain unconvinced other people exist the same way they do. Their loss
