  Should she have stayed and essentially worked as a nurse until he died?
  Just because they where in a relationship early in life?
  If the illness didn’t happen, they might have fallen out eventually, but because one is ill the other is morally bound for decades?

  If that’s your moral standard, you better spend every free minute of your life volunteering and every spare cent on charity, otherwise go fuck yourself!

    If you get married, I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what you’re signing up for. So I tend to agree with the other commenter.

      While I think even marriage has limits, baines said

      fault?, gf no if a wife yes
      but regardless a shit human being

      implying that leaving any romantic partner in that situation is immoral.

        unless it was a fuck buddy it is immoral

        but people do selfish shit all the time to various degrees, this would be worse than cheating imo

        the degree is proportional to how long they were together and the expectations set

    depends how serious it was

    if it was a long term relationship already and otherwise good until the illness, yea it’s shitty and selfish of a partner to leave

    if it was just some short fling nah

    especially if married, literally part of what you signed up for and is a very real prospect of what Iight have to do myself in the future so money where my mouth is and all that

    you can take your strawman and shove it
