My dear I have had this happen around me many times, but have never been in this situation myself. I can only tell you that those who hired help to releave them of the non stop care handled it much better that those who gave up all their time to take care of a loved one.
As much as we love someone we need space for ourselves and the feeling that our lives haven't stopped because of their illness. You need to continue with at least some of you activities that make you happy or feel good in order to be capable to give to others. You need to take care of yourself to be ready to take care of him - physically and psychologically, emotionally, socially... spiritually in every way possible.
