I would have walked away then and there regardless of where we were at with lunch just to make a point. What a loser. I hear of so many bad stories like this it makes me ill.

I could never imagine leaving my late husband Mac's bedside when he was so ill. He's been gone just short of a year and I still cannot imagine spending time with anyone else. I still wear my wedding ring and I will keep wearing it until I feel no need to. That day may never come but thats fine by me.

On this same note, my father told me the most valuable thing he was leaving me was his good name. He hoped I would protect and keep it for my own happiness through life.

The pressures and often loneliness some people face with a relative in palliative care are tremendous and sometimes cause them to behave inappropriately and perhaps he has been already feeling like a widower for some time. But, lying about it to someone else....oh man, so wrong.

I agree. Wanting to alleviate the loneliness is understandable but lying about being a widower is not.

Good move Karin. If he lied from the get go it sounds like a pattern to me.

Not much I can add to ET's story other than Wow - Maybe this lady should meet your guy.

Horrible stories, seemingly horrible man, yet some people don't seem to think they are doing anything wrong by such behavior. I have had many adult children count their net worth based on what they expected to inherit from their parents, saying things like, "it's unlikely they will be here longer than a year". They truly did not feel their behavior was offensive.

What a "husband" he turned out to be. If his wife only knew.......

Another thought...what if she didn't die within a year. However with his scruples, it apparently didn't matter.

Agree with buddie.

I can understand the loneliness when a spouse is totally incapacitated, but he shouldn't have put her in the grave prematurely.

And karin deserves honesty from the start.

Karin,excellent advice... Charlotte, you will find all sorts here, believe us!! One never knows the true person, although Karin and I have met quite a few from this site at some events we call 'bashes' where members get together at different locations. Although a bit far for you, there is one coming up the latter part of October in St. Pete's, FL. Welcome and we wish you the very best on this site....
