Hi, I’m a woman. I have enabled two partners, and leaving was the worst thing I felt I had ever done. Today, both of those men have stable jobs, partners that aren’t me, and are managing their various ailments. This article completely resonated with me.

Let’s not call our author here a man-child. A 20 year sexless marriage would affect a person of any gender. But that’s not the point of the article, it’s a tiny subpoint. Don’t harp on it. The author doesn’t.

If you don’t understand what he’s talking about here, you’ve clearly never caretaken for anyone who WILL NOT (not “can not” but “will not”) help themselves, and maybe this article just isn’t for you.
