"I'll love you no matter what"
Life is full of unexpected events. One day, one could be living the American dream, the next one could be living the American nightmare. Anyone could have their lives transformed into something they do not want to expirience. Just by their significant others suffering from some kind of deformation --a missing limb, stroke, wheel chair-- anything could happen. With the sky rocketing divorce rates, it seems as if one would just leave their significant other. But is that the case with everyone? Is there still true love out there?
Statistics are Fucked Up
This was a legitimate study that was done under the guide of Seton Hill University, with the results verified through cross matching programs done by Psychology Today, and subsequently published. I couldnt find the article, just the results. I found my research on the idea of significant injuries and divorce rate/dissolving of partnerships. They defined a "significant injury" as one that causes a spouse/significant other to become a caretaker rather then a partner.
Out of a sample of 3,400 people, all anonymous, here's the results;
- 53% of those whose spouse's/significant other's sufferred a "significant injury" left their partner within a year.
- 48% of those who left were between the ages of 20-29
- 29% were between the ages of 30-39
- 12% were between the ages of 40-49
- 11% were between the ages of 50-59
- Citing reason, heres the results on those 55%(total) said that they left because the burden was too great
-25% left because they said their partner became depressed as well and they couldn't handle the changes in mood.
-20% cited an inability to engage in sexual activities as they did before as the reason.
Discussion Questions
Would you part ways with your "significant other" if they were to suffer from some sort of deformation? (Cited in the first paragraph)
What is your opinion on those who do leave their "significant other"?
If not explained before-How would you handle the situation?
Discuss this shit.
