Daisy, I remember being very supportive and understanding too. I remember being so hurt he felt like he couldn't be honest with me. Overtime, I really lost my compassion and patience. Even knowing what I knew, I still took it very personally. I felt betrayed by the lies, felt manipulated and started to resent the times he was so wonderful because it all felt like a lie and one big manipulation. Then I started questioning every time he was nice. It became very destructive. As my husband's disease progressed (I had not idea), my obsession, my anger, and my hurt did too.
I share this so you don't go down the same path. I never even knew I was going down it until I was there.
Eight days is great. I pray he decides it was worth the effort and to continues to try to embrace life on life's terms. I hope you remain supportive and compassionate and NEVER take it personally. It wont help him or YOU.
