What do you think of this? For background: wife and 1st husband are HS sweethearts but he gets TBI soon so wife divorces him and becomes his caretaker while she remarried another man who helps take care of him + has kids. Some say he is forever cucked
If the roles were reversed where the wife got a TBI and the husband divorced to remarry he would be an absolute piece of shit in the eyes of society, how is this different

I personally don’t think it’s necessarily a bad situation, but I wouldn’t want to keep living if I had no agency, I’d rather just be put down

I’d feel really bad for him but at least she didn’t straight up abandon him

You are loved and cared for(not abandoned in a facility) so what else do you want other than that? At least I see it as something good but the guys' comments are upset over it

Would you want to be taken care of by your ex husband and his new wife should you experience the same fate

You say that like its bad?? Would you honestly want to be left in a facility alone with no one who cares about to celebrate the holidays with, never being able to explore or leave, and being mistreated since that happens a lot in those places

Ok and? Still doesn’t change the fact that she did what she did

i don’t blame her. he’s completely gone mentally and doesn’t even remember she was his wife. wouldn’t blame anyone in that situation for leaving, man or woman tbh. at least she’s still taking care of him

that six times number you threw out needs some clarification, exactly what did you mean by it?

That's what I thought
l: that study only looks at Brain Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis, completely lacks a control group, and doesn't align with similar research being a significant outlier
