He may very well be telling the truth. The point is, we don't know. It is apparent to me that he has completely emotionally divorced himself from the situation, but I could be wrong. I don't see how he could be in the long term relationship ith the other woman, having a couple of kids with her, if it weren't the case. If I am right in that he has, wouldn't it makes sense to allow someone else to make the decision, such as her parents, who are desperate to care for her and keep her alive?

Again, I can't form an opinion. If, in fact, she did say that to him, even if they didn't have the sense to draw up the legal document, it must be horrible to know she's suffering against her will. As for emotionally divorcing himself from her, everyone deals with things their own way and it's been so many years I can't exactly blame him for cointinuing to want to live despite the horrible stuggle he's dealing with. No matter what, IF what he claims is true, then I don't blame him one bit for fighting to grant his wife her wish no matter what he's done with his continuing life. While at the same time, IF what he says is false, then screw him. That's the one and only thing it hinges on, and the one and only thing that can't be determined. So I can't say either way what I think is right. Only he knows.
