Wow, what an amazing and grueling story. So many people would have walked away from this man, regardless of the connection felt. I am astounded that you have chosen to make his battle your own. I know he thanks God every day that He opened your heart and arms to embrace this relationship. I do understand this connection you felt and your account of speaking for hours on the phone resonates with me. I have a similar story. I reconnected with my high school sweetheart (we met in school in Switzerland!) after losing track of him for 30 years. We spoke and emailed for months. Then 9/11 happened, he was being deployed and asked to meet before he reported in. We spent 1 day together and the next 2 years apart but spoke every day, for many many hours. I learned every nuance of his voice and learned more about him than I ever would have had we spent those days together. We finally married in 2003 and he is still the love of my life!
I am sending prayers your way! Thank you for sharing this remarkable story with us!
Thanks for sharing your powerful and triumphant story as well! Your journey with your husband is a testament to the truth of how love endures. Going the distance instead of giving up as we are both committed to is how we say no, we do not consent to live in a culture where everything is "disposable". My man is the love of my life, and I'd rather be here battling demons alongside him than living in luxury in an emotionally-bankrupt relationship built on ego and illusion. :)
