Schizophrenia
My life partner got diagnosed with schizophrenia,
Now I am very concerned about my future ,can I lead to normal life with my wife.
It is not curable as per as internet and dr. Told me that life long medication can lead almost normal life.
My family and friends are advising me to get divorced as I can be in trouble for entire life.
My question is at what extent it is curable and if not gets curable then what could be the worst version of this
Should.i get divorced or can I lead normal life with it.

You definitely need to first understand the condition with some openness regarding the same.
Also, you can take few sessions for yourself and your wife so you both can understand and work your relationship out better by further avoiding common difficulties that might come into the relationship.
Next Steps
It is very rarely emphasized, but care givers do need counseling to combat the stress and worries that they go through while looking after their beloved suffering from any form of mental illness as it might become overwhelming over a period of time.
Health Tips
You can schedule a consult with me and get better clarity on taking further steps and contemplating your worries for continuing the marriage.
