As much as I dislike Hannah that last video just made me a little sad, watching her struggle up and down the stairs with the tree as Shane barks 'witticisms' at her. This is the reality of this life she has chosen for herself - a life of no support. Tyre blown out? No support. Need a lift home after a night out with your friends? No support. Need help carrying all that shopping? No support. Etc etc.
I'm single and the moment and live alone after spending most of last year caring for my mum who unfortunately died of cancer, and I know how much these tiny things add up. That feeling of having to constantly face these perhaps small things, but it adds up. This won't be my life forever, but to think Hannah has chosen a relationship that's as close to doing everything on your own as you get just makes me a little sad. I know she's insistent that she's likes it like this, but I'm sure one day in the future, no matter how much she insists otherwise, something will happen to make her wish she had her equal as her partner. I can't get my head around how her parents are on board with all this. If this was my daughter I would move heaven and earth to get her out of that situation - even if it meant refusing to help with his care and not move in with them to force her to confront the difficult realities of caring for him. Its better than the alternative.
