[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5851817, member: 8835"] Discounting nefarious ends or well meaning misrepresentation, I don't think it justifies "I'm going to hunt down my nemesis by myself, nevermind that together we ran a spy organization with greater means than I myself posess" or "I'm going off to the Swiss Alps where I might fall in love with a strange man named Jaque." Certainly, the spouse isn't qualified to help you remember as a therapist. But leaving the area entirely seems like the opposite of trying to get better. If you were roommates with your friend, and you got amnesia, you wouldn't move out. You'd continue to live at your place while your friend tries to remind you of things you did, etc. A therapist should no doubt be involved with any recover and adapting to life as an amnesiac. However, the spouse may be bound by oath "in sickness and in health" to render aid and stick by you. I can certainly see an overly ambitious and clumsy handling of the matter by the spouse could cause problems. However, just like all true marriage seperations don't result in couples getting back together again, the couple needs time together to begin a new friendship and relationship. Abscence does not make the heart grow fonder, especially in someone who has no memory. [/QUOTE]
