only measures of wife's illness onset are associated with elevated risk of divorce
“Research generally finds that men’s health benefits more from marriage than women’s,” Mieke Beth Thomeer, a sociologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who researches illness and divorce risk (but was not involved in the study), told Fatherly. “One explanation is that women provide more care and support for spouses within marriage than men do — many men reap more benefits from marriage than women do while women are doing more work.” And when those benefits dry up due to disease, men are more likely to walk away from the marriage.
I supported my ex husband through ill health then he cited my own poor health as one of the reasons for why he was leaving me. I formed a great healthcare team and met my boyfriend who supported me through surgery and now I’m probably the fittest I’ve ever been. Life is pretty damn good 😊
I witnessed this very thing with my cousin recently. She has a boyfriend and they are very close supposedly and spends quite a lot of time with each other. A few weeks ago, she became very ill which landed her in the ICU under an induced coma and on a ventilator. She had open heart surgery and is still recovering but she is improving daily now. It was truly a scary time for us all. Her boyfriend had every excuse in the world to not be there. He called daily, multiple times a day to check in but did not fly in once to visit her. He kept telling us about how he is starting a new job, and he has to attend his daughter’s graduation, and the flights are too expensive, yada yada. I was so disgusted and he knew it. I was shocked that this man who she plans to move to another state for, couldn’t even be by her side. I told her how I felt and she agreed but she’s still with him and recently told me that she realized he sent her photos and inspirational quotes daily while she was in the hospital and it made her see that he does care. Awww how cute. I could honestly vomit every time I think about it. All these LVM have is the nerve… and a lot of these pick me’s give them the opportunity.
As if I couldn’t be more put off from men as already do 🤣
Sigh I remember bringing this up to my ex when he sent his usual "woe is me, only women and children get unconditional love and men suffer" . And he just said that it wasn't true, even tho there's stats. His own mother stayed by his slowly dying father's side until the end, and yet he still thinks men doesn't get unconditional love smh
and if they dont leave, they cheat
Wore the t-shirt unfortunately. Too young to know the signs. If I had just one person to teach me. Schools and colleges should teach emotional intelligence and maturity.
