Reply to comment by Commercial-Life-9998 in Man tries to throw disabled wife in to the Boston channel by Hoosac_Love

There's a lot of bad assumptions in this statement. Nowhere does it say he was a caretaker, or that she needed one. Not every disability requires a caretaker, and there are plenty of people who are wheelchair bound but otherwise are 100% independent.

He's having psychotic delusions. She could be his caretaker.

Being a spouse of someone in wheelchair: you are a caretaker. Yes, partners are caretakers to one another. Before you get really sensitive, I’m disabled.

I care for disabled homies, have done so for Over a decade, I think you and I both know you're being loose with that term. A caretaker is someone whose gonna come wipe your ass because your physically or cognitively not present or able to do so. A spouse is a care taker in the sense that your well being is first on their list yes, but there's a reason I and many others around the world have a Job.
