Dear Dr. Laura,

I listen to you every day on my way to work. I recently heard a call from a man who was thinking about cheating on his wife because of her disabilities from a car accident. He appalled me. My husband and I were together for 18 years. During those 18 years I have had 3 major back surgeries and never once did he think about cheating.

He was there all the way with me. And after my recovery we took sex slow and explored what worked best for me to get enjoyment, not pain. Then last year, we found out my husband had stage 4 lung cancer. I was very fortunate to be able to be with home with him to the end. He passed away August 11th, 2016 at the age of 60. He was my husband and when got we took our vows, part of the vows were "IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH".

Don't get me wrong we had our share of disagreements and silence, but we always worked it out. I am so fortunate and proud that my husband and myself took our vows seriously. Just because the chips were down, we never thought about finding a new model.
