Personally,  I can think nothing more despicable than to leave your spouse at a moment of crisis.  It has the optics of a coward.

However, none of us the nature of their relationship and what they are going through.  I can think of a few reasons why a divorce maybe necessary even at this moment.

I know someone who left their narcissistic abusive spouse, who was going through chemo for stage-4 cancer. They stuck around for about a year, but the cancer only emboldened the abuser to be abusive in new ways. It escalated to an instance of physical abuse against their teenage daughter. They felt like they had no choice but to leave, and it was 100% the right decision. 

Of course, the narcissist then played the victim card, "Woe is me, my spouse left me alone while I was going through cancer." They had a new romantic partner within months and have made zero effort to see their younger kids. Confirmation that leaving was the right choice.

Like you said, we don't know the full details so it's best to withhold judgment.

Just admit you hate men.

I never said whether the abuser was a man or a woman.

 

 

 

 

But white men are definitely the worst.

You silly little thing.  You purposely tried to hide it but we know who is who. 

There is no way you would talk about a woman that way.  The narrative would be totally different.  It would be "she was diagnosed with bla bla bla and it was awful, the depression and mood swings set in, we all felt terrible. And her husband just left.  What a monster"

Lol okay. I know of both male and female narcissists, and I don't excuse any of their behavior.

Nope, last I heard they're in remission and not on chemo anymore.

Reminds me of the "old surgeon" riddle.

My girlfriend dumped me the morning I started chemo. She said she didn't want to date cancer. Good times. It's better knowing someone doesn't give a shite rather than living a lie.
