Hello, Deb C.Thank you for reaching out to our community.
I'm very sorry you are going through this and that your husband's health is declining. But being ill is no excuse for treating you badly, especially as you are the one who is with him in sickness as you were in health. Maybe he needs to be reminded of this. Perhaps ask him if he wishes to continue the relationship given how he treats you. Thinking he could lose you might spark something in him to change. He has no reason to change anything if you leave things as they are. Your life is important too.
Below is a link to a very active thread on this subject, at EmpowHER. I think knowing you are not alone will help. I hope so. There you can read comments, hear similar stories, and tell your own if you like. Copy/paste the link.
