My stomach tightened.

He explained that caring for me was exhausting. That it was taking over his life. That it felt like a full-time job he never agreed to.

“You agreed to be my husband,” I said softly.

He shook his head.

“This is different.”

I reminded him the doctors believed my condition would improve with time.

He interrupted me.

“Temporary still means months,” he said. “And I can’t do all this without getting something in return.”

That was when he said the words I will never forget.
