Hi TrendyNannie6, this really made me think! The answer is yes. My poor (second) husband has tried so hard to overcome post-traumatic stress from a dreadful road crash years ago when his vehicle killed someone, though he was declared blameless; followed by cardiovascular disease which has not responded well to treatment and has left him registered disabled. But he is much changed from the lively, affectionate man I met almost 18 years ago, is now withdrawn and negative, and can be quite rude when tired and stressed. It may also be the start of vascular dementia. But he's always here, always willing to help, not interested in gambling or womanising or getting into debt, and is devoted to me though he finds it hard to show it. As I am a homebody who loves a quiet life, in many ways he's perfect!
