Men Are Far More Likely to Abandon a Seriously Ill Spouse

[SuperDuper! 230]

Men are not exactly loyal even when everything's good... add a serious illness to the equation and they'll run for the hills.

I left my last gf because she sneezed. I didn't want to take the chance that she might get a cold.

Good call.

Ok...so I would/will stay with my wife until she's fully dead...but...these couple of posts above did really make me laugh

Smart... take out a life insurance policy on her first, then make sure she's really dead.

I stuck closely by my ex-wife when she was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus. She joined this Eastern Cult, and that made things real difficult. Still, I stuck by her even when she was diagnosed with Cancer and had her operation to remove the Cancerous cells. After the operation however, she became very depressed and after a series of major disagreements (over Investments, Adopting Children, etc.), she decided it was best that she leave the 12 yr. relationship. Good for me! Leidys comes to the USA in 7 days!!

Incidentally, my wife has told me on numerous occasions that the ONLY time she would ever leave me is if I decided to become a woman.

How DARE she not support me in such a thing!

Brother K & L...Blessings and congrats to you on your extremely long thread and wonderful love story! We collectively look forward to Part II as Leidys moves to the USA!

More to the point, how does a conversation get to the point where such a thing might even be considered an option? What makes you think that at some future time you might wish to cross the gender gap? It's not normally a conscious choice thing.

I think it's because women aren't as capable of handling guilt, generally speaking.

Moral of this story. Women, do not get sick until after your husband dies. What is the purpose of this BS? Did I pay for this too?

My ex would definitely have wanted nothing to do with me if I got sick. I would surely have been a huge burden.

But then again, he's my ex.

If I change my Gender, I want to be the Black Rikki Lake!
