    Agreed!!!

    The point is for married men (in my opinion) to value the woman you chose to spend your life with. She might gain some weight, she might not look exactly the way she did when you first laid eyes on her, but she is more valuable than any amount of gold. Take nothing for granted, take time for intimacy (not simply sex), and no woman no matter how beautiful you think she is, no matter what you think she is giving you that your wife isn't, that OTHER woman will never love you the way your loving wife does.

    Have you ever seen the Tyler Perry movie "Why did I get married"? It's the 80/20 rule, your spouse will give you 80% of what you are looking for if he/she loves you. If you "trade" that spouse in for a new model now you have someone who'll give you 20% of what you are looking for.

    80 is much better than 20.

    The point of the story is to evoke emotion, not to be critically analyzed.

    Husband might be a douche, but so is the wife. Really, dying from cancer, didn't tell anyone?
    Are you for serious?

    Agreed my man. That is what i get from this story. Get the moral of the story. Its the little things in life that are most important, but always the easiest to forget because seem so insignificant.

    Sure I'm serious. Being a married man for 21 years most of them happy I can understand IF this was a true story (I'm reasonably sure it isn't) why she'd not tell him she had terminal cancer.

    1. He would have felt guilty and probably stayed with her while STILL having an affair

    2. Their son would probably have a HORRIBLE opinion of the father because after she died he likely would have IMMEDIATELY moved in with "the other woman".

    3. She didn't want sympathy from a loveless husband, she wanted her last days recreating intimacy for the legacy of her marriage.

    4. Because of his actions with the other woman.... he didn't deserve to know.
