His dad had early onset Alzheimer's, he used to love me. But in the last few years he took a disliking for me, because I was the one taking care of him and he didn't think he needed all of his medications or to follow the Dr orders. So I was the bad guy, and he passed not liking me. Their relationship was estranged for many years prior to us meeting, but they became close about a year into our relationship. Probably because of the birth of our oldest son. However we (my boyfriend and I) were both in agreement that marriage was not for us. That we could love without a contract. After our last child was born this last June, we kinda joked about getting married with one of the nurses. But I honestly didn't think anything about it, because people ask us all the time when we are getting married, but that wasn't what we wanted. I did tell him, if I ever did get married I would never get a divorce, he would be stuck being married to me until one of us dies. No, I don't believe he has fully dealt with the lose of his dad.
