A few years back one of the radio stations in my area used to do call-in answers to a topic question and this was topic one night . About half of the people that called in the night said yes and the other half said no. So I'm asking question here to kind of see how the results will be.

Yes I would. 4 years after my husband and I were married and our third daughter had just been born, I was diagnosed with cancer.
I spent the following 4 years in and out of the hospital and had a total of 12 or 14 operations. I was given my last rights twice and the family was called from out of state and they were told that I was dieing.
Through all of it, my husband stayed by my side, he raised our three girls and went to work every day.
Any time that I did make it home, I was usually in a wheelchair so he had the added task of taking care of me. After my last set of surgeries, (4 in a 5 week period) I was my sickest. I was in the hospital from October until January. When I did come home I was on machines and he came home every day at lunch and changed all my I.V. tubes and mixed my solutions and hung the new bags. He advanced my drainage tubes daily and bathed me.
It has been almost 20 years since then and we are still together. I am forever grateful for his love and patience in me and I would never leave him if something were to happen to him. I would give him all the love he gave me and then some.

I had a friend that fell down the steps and broke his neck and became a "quad". His wife tried to stay by his side but he turned into such an a $ $ H O L E that the nursing staff hated him. I went up once a week till he started screaming at me that no matter how much I came up I wasn't going to get boat. (His wife had already sold it to pay bills). I tried for a few more months, his kids quit about the same time I did and his wife gave up a few months after his kids. He lays in bed a bitter man full of hate for everyone and everything.

My husband today yes I would stay with him. Though I might not do 24 hour care of him, as I don't think I am up to it. I would want to get the best nursing care he could get; it might not be from me. I would stay married to him and would not go elsewhere for men, that is icky.
Not because of vows or a wedding, simply because I want to, because he is him, and I am me, and we are right to go through life together. I don't know how else to express it.
There were boyfriends in my past however, where the answer would have been NO.

Yes because if you really love someone you stick by them. My first job was when I was 14 and I took care of a quadriplegic woman some weekdays from 7pm to 7am. It is a lot of work but worth it when you love someone.

Yes, UNLESS the injury occurred as the result of her drugs/alcohol use (she doesn't use either).
I'd feel morally justified in saying "see ya" if someone was so self-absorbed that they drank or drugged themselves into a mishap which did that. Sorry, I'm not going to spoon-feed someone for the next 40 years who brought it on themselves.
If it was just a straight-up "I fell down the stairs wrong," I'm there til the end. If there's gross personal neglect involving substance abuse, byebye. Your drug/booze use, your problem.

Yup. I knew from day one that my wife is afflicted with myotonic muscular dystrophy, so it's a very real possbility that she may end up wheelchair-bound or worse, but I married her anyway. Why? Simple: I love her! It's not worth it to make decisions based on what might happen because you never know. I could get hit by a bus this afternoon...

yes! im gonna stay with him. I marry him because I love him, being disabled will not gonna take my love away from him. And in that marriage I promised that Im gonna be with him thru thick and thin, in sickness and in health, and that is a promise! My husband will be needing me at that time, esp that time...I know it will be hard for a man who is the provider if the family to be disabled, and leaving him at that time will make him suffer more.
the only reason im gonna leave him is if we dont love each other anymore,thats the only reason im gonna leave him. cheating,or something else...i can forgive, its part of the trials in our relationship and i know for sure if there is love we will surpass it.

Of course I would. I absolutely love and adore my husband. He is my best friend and soul mate and there is no way that I could ever leave him. I took my marriage vows seriously and I vowed before God to stay with him through sickness and health and that is what I meant.
