Every Morning He Follows His Wife Without Her Knowing. The Reason Why Is Truly Beautiful

This is a heartbreakingly beautiful short film (it's only 8 minutes) that brought me to tears. I honestly did not know where it was heading, but I am so glad I watched it all the way through.

She will never know how much he does for her, and he doesn't want her to ever know.

    I don't know how true it is, but I hope he constantly let's her know that he loves her, and would do more if she wanted him to, but appreciates her need and desire for doing this herself and admires her all the more for adapting to it. It is a shame that she didn't tell him, but I can appreciate the fear.

      Kind of torn between what I think of this. People who Love each other and Trust each other are HONEST with each other.

      This seems far from it. It is commendable that he does care for her so deeply. It really is.

      But what would even be more incredibly caring is for him to come out and be forthcoming in what he has been doing and letting his wife know. And let her decide if she thinks it is something that is necessary or whether it is something she approves of.

      If he knew that she would be totally irate for him to do this but still hid it from her then I do not see that as being Loving, at all.

      What matters is that she know the Truth , whether that be bad, good or awesome.

      Thats what makes a relationship last so long. Being transparent with each other

        Tell me something.


        Suppose you were stricken with a terrible condition that threatened your independence.....how would you react?


        Would you be stubborn and keep working on doing things yourself, or would you become totally dependent on others?


        That is what she's going through.....and he understands, and loves her even more for it. That is the takeaway for me at least.

    I can understand why it took her awhile to tell him. I can also understand his concerns and actions.

    Both are in transition now and need to learn a whole way of life. Later on, when she is used to doing without sight, and she's learned to be capable he'll probably relax and stop being the shadow that would horrify her to know about.

    Trust and love is there. They're just in transition right now. It will take both some time to adapt. She might be a bit angry if she knew, but she'd forgive him. It's not the same thing as a guy following you around to make sure you're not cheating on him or something insane like that. They will normalize eventually.

    Obviously I am kind of torn ALSO! He let her know EARLIER that he was there for her, etc... SHE was UPSET! I can understand why, but he really HAD to do that. So he didn't tell her earlier, because it would make things worse. And he is only NUDGING her, so she can STILL adapt, etc....

    I don't know what to say, I admire the love they possess and you will understand the behavior of the two.

      I think that this guy needs to get a life, and give his wife some room to move?

        yeah, it is kind of freaky and for me it would be humiliating if I knew my wife went so far as to go into my office where I work and everyone knew but me that she was there to make sure I got in my desk safely..

        It would make me feel like a fool

      I also thought it was a bit invasive - but, then, it's not REAL - it's a video with actors.

      I think a lot of people must spend much of their time vegetating while viewing videos. Too easy to lose the boundary that separates REAL LIFE from "isn't this a nice story line".

        Most of the drama I watch on videos is a break from real life...meaning it isn't like real life.

        If my wife were going blind, we would deal with it. I would learn how to do most household things she does now, and do them. If she had a job she could still do (outside the home) I'd go with her.

        It would never occur to me to not tell her. It would never occur to me that she was a burden on me, or that I wold lie to her about what I was doing.

        We would treat it exactly as it is, an adjustment...an inconvenience.

        If I were going blind, my wife would help me in any way she could. It would never occur to me to not let her help, or to think she was intrusive. We would make the necessary adjustments. I'd get better at dealing with life, as a blind person.

        There would be very little drama, no crying. And yelling at each other? Frustration? Maybe a tad at first, but we are rational people. We would adjust.

        If my wife followed me to work, and didn't tell me, I would consider that odd behavior....and condescending. She would just help when I needed it, and that would be it. Same if it was reversed.

          Yes, it would be bizarre. Enough where I would want my wife to seek professional help or at minimum we go to therapy

            I wouldn't want my husband to do that to me because I cherish honesty in a relationship and trust.
