The husband of a friend of mine has asked for a divorce just as she is beginning to cope with a long-term illness. I say, what part of "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part" did he not understand?

This sort of thing makes me understand why "traditore" and "vigliacco" ("traitor" and "coward") have long been the two worst insults in the Italian language.

Yes, it is horrible. But in the long run, your friend will be able to count herself lucky. If she is facing Alzheimer's, then she will need a committed support group around her. At least now she can count this jerk out of that circle.

People do horrible things each and every day. I have found that they do eventually pay for their actions. It may take some time, but it does happen. This louse will have his day.

In the meantime, we should focus our prayers for your friend. I will send mine her way.

Yes, I am also a great believer in sitting by the river and waiting for the corpse of your enemy to come floating past. I have seen it happen in my own matters, not so long ago. I just hope that if and when it happens, it will not be too late for her.

Man, I've never heard that expression before, but it's great!

It's actually quite famous, from a Chinese fable.
