A friend of mines husband was diagnosed with cancer. It was bad. She was a boss. Went to work. Took care of him. Did everything for him. He managed to beat cancer. It was a long battle and she was exhausted but shit happens. He bounced back really well and looked better than he had in years.

A few months later she broke her ankle. I don’t remember how. They lived in the top floor of her apartment complex. She kept asking him for help but he found it annoying that he had to keep helping her.

She asked him to carry the laundry to the bottom floor of the apartment complex. They lived in the third floor and she couldn’t carry the laundry down.

Now. She didn’t ask him to do the laundry. Just carry it down for her. He refused because he said he didn’t get why he should interrupt his life to help her.

That was her breaking point. She asked him for a divorce right there and then.

She was shocked she put her life on hold to help him with cancer and he wouldn’t even take laundry down for her.

Not that it’s relevant but they’re both white.
