but still, she didn't break her back, she is not up and speaking and eating and drinking like someone who breaks their back would, even if the only similar thing is both of them are 'changed' from what they were when married... since people can and do change during their marriage to someone (i.e. new job, new baby, new dog, etc etc)
A broken back and being a vegetable are totally different changes, one you cannot come back from (brain practically gone, can't talk or eat, etc.) and the other you might be able to come back from (not to mention that person can talk, masticate, brain is ALL there, etc)... Perhaps if your example were more along the lines of what is happening with terri that would be more appropriate.
Exactly, if he didn't give a hoot about Terri he wouldn't be there with her now.So, my point being - if he really was the heartless jerk that some want to believe that he is, he could have walked away years ago - but he didn't. Can any of us imagine being saddled with the burden that he has - only to have the president on down try to get him to relinquish his vows?
