I am in a 27 year marriage. My husband is diabetic with neuropathy. As a result he is now a bilateral below knee amputee. He hasn't worked for at least 8 years but I work full time. He is in a lot of pain with the neuropathy. He also struggles with constant bathroom issues and has the scoriatic arthritis which along with the neuropathy really hurts his hands and arms. I do everything that I can for him but he is often angry and mean. He is frustrated because he can't get ssi because I earn too much. I would love to have my own place away from him but near so that I can still help him and so he could the. Have some money of his own. He feels very down with no income at all. I do love him and don't want a divorce. I just need a little space and he needs to be able to have some of his own money and space as well. Just can't describe the frustrations on a daily basis. It's hard when he forgets I'm just as broke as he is AND I still am trying to do the best I can for both of us. But I have the extra challenge of someone that is constantly yelling, name calling, criticizing me and angry! I would do it all everyday with not a second thought if only he wasn't so angry and nasty.
