Well, as long as you’re not divorcing him _because_ he’s terminally ill…

No—he’s just an asshole…but he is dependent on me, because he is disabled. Part of his assholishness (is that a word?) is because he’s sick, and losing control of his life. That part of it I understand, and I deal with it. But he doesn’t feel like he has to be nice, ever, if he doesn’t want to. \<sigh\> He’s verbally abusive, and controlling—and I get tired of it. I’m just venting… I won’t leave him. He has congestive heart failure, BTW.

Sorry to hijack…
