And they do! Holy cow, I've met people who had kids for the purposes of keeping their marriage together -- and of course, it broke the relationship apart even faster. Nothing stresses a relationship like needy, needy babies.

I mean, it's all well and good to think that you can live your life for someone else's pleasure, and just live off the altruistic good-feel, but it gets to be a grind really, really fast. Caretakers have to do it, and I've never met a caretaker who didn't have days when they wanted to scream and run away and do the things they wanted to do for once.

But, getting back to Who, I don't think the Doctor needs, or would appreciate, being "caretaken".

Yes, yes, yes.

Every relationship I have ever seen (both romantic and platonic) in which one person "lived" for the other in this altruistic way ended very badly and was deeply unhealthy. And I agree with you about caretaking roles. My mother cared for my ailing grandmother for years, and she did it with the kind of grace I can only hope to come close to should I ever be in her position, and it wore her down to a nub. She had to quit the job she loved. She's permanently damaged her back, and she and my dad were essentially trapped in the house with MeeMaw all the time until she went to a nursing home (and even then, my mom visited her every day). I have a great deal of respect for the way my mom handled my grandmother's end of life issues, but it was miserable for my mom.

Sadly, I have only seen like one episode of Dr. Who ever and cannot comment on the show specifically.

Eh, he's like any action hero: glamourous, smart, able to do pretty much anything in a pinch, and completely self-sufficient. And like most people, he enjoys the company of people who love the things he loves and values the things he values -- travel, excitement, meeting new people, and hands-on involvement in the lives of an endless parade of complete strangers.

Which is what makes the OP's secret rather naively absurd. It's like pairing Bella Swan with 007.

Also, your parents sound awesome. I hope they are now recovering a bit from the ordeal.

*hugs* They are awesome, and they are doing really well. :)

Thanks for the info about the Dr. I keep meaning to try to get into this fandom and having too much TV to watch as it is. LOL
