Beautiful husbands who juggle multiple roles

I too have SPMS and a beautiful second husband who steps up to help when I really need it. I am learning humility through this disease to overcome my pathalogical over-autonomous stubborn self reliance and ask for help when I need it. Not in every instance and not as much as I probably should, but graciously accepting assistance when proffered without seeing it as an admision of failure is much more constructive than fighting it. I can live with that, it's much less stressful than resistance and he feels useful, appreciated and needed without being overwhelmed.
