Through an interview offered to The Objective, Echenique's wife has opened up and spoken

openly

about the difficult situation she is going through due to

the mental health problems

she suffers from, mainly due to the

social phobia

that afflicts her. they diagnosed. Her husband has always acted as one of

her fundamental pillars

and considers that together they have formed the "perfect tandem" to be able to face everything.

They met in 2009

at the University of Zaragoza: "One day I was

leaving the laboratory

and I ran into him. He asked me where his office was, since I had never been to that part of the campus. And I told him: 'No.' I know where it is, but

I'll help you look for it.'

And that was the first closest contact," he remembers, adding that they later became friends on Facebook and started talking.

In 2012 they took the step of

formalizing their relationship

by sealing their love at the altar ("We didn't want to have a wedding like the ones done here... with large banquets and many guests. We wanted to do something different, so we eloped to Tenerife and We got married there. With two witnesses, a friend of his and a friend of mine," he says) and, since then, they have not separated. Although they have been together for more than a decade, the couple

does not have children together,

something that Nelo spoke about for the first time in the aforementioned interview:

"We have tried, but it has not happened,"

he confessed. Following his own words, at some point they have considered

adopting

, but it is something that he does not know how to face, given his state of mental health.

Regarding Echenique's physical condition, María Nelo has stated that it is something that never mattered to her:

"I fell in love and that's it,"

she says, suggesting that, although she was aware of the

special care

that Pablo needed in his daily life, , she never cared, in fact, it was she herself who

provided him with help

for many years.

However, although she has never cared about the politician's disability, the truth is that she has revealed that

she had to listen to many comments

about it from those around her: "Many people were very prejudiced. Many people did not understand why we were together and

they talked behind each other's backs,"

he said, while pointing out that, from his family, he never received any impediment.
