My neighbour, a man of 42 years used to consume alcohol regularly after work with his colleagues and would come back home completely drunk and he would keep on abusing his wife verbally, only when drunk! His wife even threatened several times that she would leave him if he didn't stop drinking alcohol. One morning she was so unhappy and fed up of his husband's bad habits and decided to talk to him, for she wanted divorce but she couldn't cause the latter suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital, she was shocked when the doctor told her that the effects of alcohol resulted to a stomach cancer and his liver also suffered from serious damage and it's incurable! Do you think she should leave him in such condition?

i would say, NO. On a human point of view, she should take care of him

It's true she decided to leave him when he was abusing alcohol but now he is really sick.

Alcohol is a drug, affecting the central nervous system, it's the frequent heavy drinking to severe degrees of intoxication that turn ur husband into a vulgar cause you said that ""he abuses only when he's drunk!"" So you should forgive him cause he did all that unconsciously.

I don't agree with you!
His wife told him several times that she didn't like his habit of drinking and also told him to stop it but he didn't listen to her, why would she live with someone who doesn't listen to her, he made her unhappy!

Shanen & Cojack the actual question is not exactly about the fact that husband has abused his wife.

The question is pointed out by the fact that he is now seriously illl and should his wife take care of him or leave him !

I think that she should stay next to hi until the end, because his suffering a lot and he needs support. Forget for the moment what he did to you, because he won't be able to leave for a long time and im sure that you don't wantto leave him in such situation!

You are right, and moreover he won't be able to consume alcohol again, then why should she leave him in such condition!
I think she would be wise enough to take a good decision!

Definitely not. This is not the time to leave him. It's true and it's understood that she endured a lot of suffering for him but she should consider it as the past now. Coz the man might not be living for a very long time.

It's a good idea that she stays with him and offer him the support and care fo him. Turn over a new page.
