I'm a 28(m) with a rare genetic condition that I only discovered a few days ago. Basically I've gotten 5 to 20 years left in my life and some of those years may not be pleasant. I love my wife dearly. She is the most important person in my life and I would do anything for her. But I dont want her to be a widow in her late 40s. If I leave now shes only 27 and she can rebuild her life and have a chance for children which would be unethical with me considering they would likley have the same condition. I would leave her with our home which is paid for and all of our belongings and move back to my parents. They will likely out live me. This sounds harsh but the thought of her alone that early in life brings me to tears. I cant have her suffer for my sake.
