Wedding Vows

Date: 06.13.2026

Tell me if wedding vows are still valid? Do they mean anything, or are they just words that sound nice during the wedding? To love, honour, and respect. Through sickness and health. For richer, for poorer. What does a person do when they’re told that because they’re sick, because they worked too much, because life didn’t turn out the way your spouse thought it should, that you’re not relevant anymore? What do you do with it? Do you walk away? I would really love to know. For the third time in my life, I am going to be alone again. I am trying to figure out where I’m going to live, who’s going to remind me to take my pills, who’s going to check to see if I’ve had my needles, and who’s going to remember to remind me that I still matter?  I have PTSD, heightened anxiety and depression, sight and sound reactive stimulation, and night terrors. One would say I’m a bit of a mess. I did not do this to myself; there is a long history that came before it. Please tell me what you would do with someone like me. Is my wife right in saying I’m leaving and you’re not wanted? I know I repeat some of this over and over, but it’s important so people understand what another person can be going through and can’t help it.
