Well I would "feel" fine with him being at home. I would feel awful that he has a sickness to keep him at home. I would be there to take care of my sick husband.
I actually was having him stay at home (my choice) with our son while I was out working.

I hope you love him just as much if not more then when you got married. You will have rough times but you can get throw them together.
I have been married 21 yrs. my wife a stay at home wife for the last 13 yrs. Now I am unable to take care of my family in that way and she has gone to college and works full time. We make it work because we LOVE each other. Yes there is pain on both sides he feels like he is not the man any more and you are feeling like the world just got put on you shoulders. When in fact that was placed there when you said in sickness and in health.
Just take one day at a time and each time you get out of bed tell yourself that you are only going to look for positive things throw out the day. When something goes wrong remember that promise to your self and think of at least two positive thing right then. It might be that one is alwayss your husband loves you. Or remember back to your wedding day how happy you where.
Do not get stunk only thinking about everything that is going bad.
You need to remember to alway talk with him as well let him know how you feel and what is going on with you out side of the house and him as well. Talking is every important for both of you to do right now.
You might want to see if you can get into a support group as well.

That's what the marriage vows were for. better/worse, sickness/health, richer/poorer, till death us do part. Remember those? It's not his fault that he's sick and it's going to be hard, but he will depend on you for a lot now. Maybe he will qualify for social security disability or something that will help take a little of the responsibility from you. I certainly hope that things work out for you and that you and your hubby grow closer during this time and not apart. Good luck.

I'd feel like I was living up to the 'until death do we part' of my wedding vows. You agreed to be with each other thru 'sickness and in health', and although I have sympathy for those in that situation it's one of the cruel parts of life. You may be eligible for assistance thru social security if your husband has worked in the past--check into that so you'll have some help. Otherwise, good luck to you. I hope your husband can recover from his illness.

If my husband were sick and need to be at home due to illness, I would be there in a heart beat to make and manage the household no ?'s asked.
I am a stay at home mother but if roles need reversing hey, I there doing it. Need be if I had to work at 7/11 for 60 weeks, clock me in.
He is your husband. Just think of how you would want to be treated. If I had to change the guys diapers, I commited myself before God, and made the personal choice sickness and in health. You did too.
Stand by your word!

Well my husband has taken care of me since we first started dating which was 6 yrs ago. He has done everything as far as working, buying, paying the bills etc... because he's the one that has always worked. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me except for our children of course. I look at it this way, he has always been there for me for everything (hell and back) so why wouldn't i be there for him when he really needed me?! I would do anything for him just like he does for the family. That's why i married him, i love him with all my heart and will always be there through everything!! Especially if he was sick, you'll do anything for the ones you truly love.

Well you took the vows in sick ness and in health.
It applies both ways, if you meant what you said it should not be an issue. As a husband or wife it is you job to take care of each other until you die.

Well we are in the 2000yrs now not back in the 1800's where men worked, you find women these days working while husband stays home cooks, clean, and takes care of the family even if he is sick, nothing wrong with the wife working while husband stays home!

if your husband has supported you in the past then i think you should do the same and if you really love you husband that shouldn't even be a ? you would have to ask, unless he's been really bad to you, but even then what kind of person would walk out at this time of the relationship?

You people are not very nice to judge someone for their spelling. Szek was asking a serious question. If you are married, you took some vows. One of them is "in sickness and in health", and another is "as long as we both shall live". You should do what you have to do to survive...as a team.
