Yeah, I hate these stories for the amount of Big Ethical Talk it beings out in people. "I would stand by my partner no matter what" is the "I could fight a bear" of emotional labor. Unless you've had a serious illness or been very close to someone who has (not parents or siblings, a voluntary relationship), then you just really don't know what you're talking about.

Anyone can fight a bear. Just not for longer than a couple of seconds mostly. But that's no reason to give up on your loved ones before even trying.
