Stayed in a dependent marriage

My husband's health problems led to him becoming completely dependent on me, causing immense pressure and emotional strain on our marriage.

What I wish I knew
"The long-term impact of caregiving on my own well-being."
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider seeking support and therapy for both partners before it's too late."
