Husband plans infidelity if wife is incapacitated

Dear Abby: I need some serious advice. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis a year ago. My condition is stable. I have taken the necessary precautions such as dietary changes, exercise and prescription medications. My husband and I have been married eight years. This is my second marriage and his third. My husband is a very stubborn man. Once he makes a decision he stands by it until death. He has recently announced that should I become incapacitated and unable to perform my “wifely duties,” he is going to find a “sex buddy.” What should I do about this announcement? — Wife in Dayton, Ohio
