He gave his first wife divorce papers THE DAY AFTER SURGERY FOR UTERINE CANCER!!! THE DAY AFTER! That’s NOT what I call “sticking with his family”.

Thanks for the link to the article.

I notice she doesn’t deny him giving her the papers that day, just that they didn’t consider it a big deal. As for the tumor being benign - they certainly wouldn’t have known it that day.

I don’t buy that he couldn’t have waited a few days till she was out of the hospital instead of handing her the papers that day. Even if a divorce is what she wanted - giving her the papers when recovering for surgery was NOT showing care and support for her. No matter what - even if you WANT a divorce - reading the actual legal papers is a very emotionally draining experience and one he shouldn’t have put her into right after surgery. All JMHO, but I can guarantee I’m not the only woman to feel this way.

Besides, it’s not just that one example... His second marriage ended the EXACT same way - except she DIDN’T want a divorce, and had JUST been diagnosed with MS. She required too much “upkeep” at that point - like Gingrich himself pointed out with his supposed quote of “You’re a jaguar and I need a Chevrolet”.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to get over my indignation at this man’s past behaviors. I’ll have to give it some time.
