My late ex Husband remarried after our divorce, He was 50 at the time, and the new wife was 30. They had a child when MY ex was about 52, The child was born a bit early, and weighed about 2 lb, and subsequently had many problems for some time. The new wife was very temperamental, and seemingly had clinical depression, and hardly did anything for the baby, so my EX was in charge of most things.
Things carried on in the same way for a few years, but the new wife not taking much responsibility for their son,, she was a gold digger type of woman,always wanting to go out with her friends, always wanting the best of everything in their home, always wanting money non stop.
I had stayed friends with my ex after a few months of all the divorce stuff happening, I knew that he was unhappy with this awful marriage style, he was usually a happy caring man, and never got stressed at all. He used to bring his young son whenever he visited me, and he was showing signs of stress then.
A few months later ,he had a stroke which was quite serious, and I went to visit him in hospital. The new wife was there, the first time I had ever seen her. We obviously said hello etc, when my ex introduced us, Then the first thing that this woman said to me, was, I am just not going to cope with Alan, not real name, he has had a serious stroke, and I don't want to have to deal with all the extra work at home with him, and I am going to move out somewhere.
My ex recovered somewhat much later, he had been paralysed down the right side of his body and couldn't use his right hand, But after much therapy he was able to go home
THE new wife,kept to her word,and after a few months, my ex bought her a new house, and she went on her merry way, My ex then had their son at his home. She kept asking my ex for more money all the time.for holidays etc.
Over a few more years, my ex had three more strokes, the last one caused his death, six years ago.
