I certainly hope not.

I do too, but if my wife was in the same situation, there is no way I could be away from her.

Would you quit your job and be forced to go on public assistance?

Or would you work and use your sick time and vacation time, nights and weekends taking your wife to her treatments, visiting her in the hospital as much as you could while continuing to work to support your family?

Everyone I have known in a similar situation continues to work to support the family and the extended family chips in to fill in the void.

It is beyond pretentious to think this man would sit by his wife's side 24/7 till the day she dies which we have no idea is even coming anytime soon.
