This is a great story of love. Mine is kind of the opposite...
My ex-wife got early onset rheumatoid arthritis. It took a long time to diagnose, but once we did, it was a relief to know what we needed to treat. We spent years going doctors, trying various medications and generally taking care of her health with no expense spared. Eventually, despite all of our efforts, our relationship grew further and further apart and I finally asked to separate (after about 10 years together). It was the most difficult thing I've ever done, partly because it was traumatic to let go of someone who was sick.
As crazy as it sounds, after we separated, she found a shaman in the jungles of Peru and moved there from San Francisco to be healed. Today, she shows no signs of RA (has even come back to the US a few times for 'real' testing) and she is healthy and happy. I now live in Vietnam and I'm happier than I've ever been in my life.
Despite all the difficulties, separation was the best for both of us. We are still friends and keep in touch online.
