Woud you....

I heard on the news that a man left his wife for another woman. Then he found out he has cancer, and the other woman left him. So the man with cancer went back to his wife, and she felt obligated to take care of him because he's the father of her children.

Would you take back a spouse (put your life on hold) just because you feel obligated?

I couldn't.

[BlackSheepNY]

No, I sure wouldn't.  Kind of sounds like a bit of Karma to me.

I would be there for him, he was my husband and children's father.  Would I take care of him, put my life on hold for him........NO!  If his girlfriend wouldn't, why should I?

This is pretty sketchy information to make a decision on.  How long was he originally married?  Why did he leave his wife for another woman? My knee jerk reaction to the scant information is no way could I do this with my spouse.  However, on a deeper level, if I was not in a committed relationship and my ex found themselves in very difficult health situation then I would hope I might find the compassion that this man's ex wife did.

If one feels obligated, I think a choice has already been made.

[gaylasue]

No!  Once he walked out that door, it would be over!  I guess his karma came back to him the hard way!

[crisstar]

It takes a special person to do that. I would feel empathy but I don't know if I would take back a spouse that cheated on me even if he was sick.

prime example of the grass wasent so green i would have laughed in his face as i slammed the door in it.  should have thought long and hard about straying outside of your marriage and now that youve made your bed you should lay in it.

I would not take him back, but if one of my children had wanted to take him in, I would help them out.  If he was mean to me when we were married he would be worse later. .
