All of life's trials are difficult. Personally, my husband was wonderful yet I could have found plenty to complain about. The key, as in most of life, is communication.

I've seen too many chronically ill people turn against those they love and know it's an easy course of action. I promised myself I would not do that. How you ask, by waiting until I was no longer angry and then I would talk to him. Sometimes he'd get defensive and I'd ask him to think about it for a later discussion. While discussing anything with all the anger gone, you both tend to keep an open mind. A little humor goes a long way too.

Just remember, if you must argue, always argue naked!
