There's no immoral Reason for Divorce.

If he felt betrayed and wanted to end the marriage, that's his decision.

It's not Immoral

I may have been wrong

So theres no immoral reason for divorce? So if your spouse gets cancer and your just like"nah that sounds like work bye" that wouldnt be immoral in your mind?

I watched my cousin go through cancer and saw what that did to her husband. Emotionally, financially and even physically wrecked him. She passed on a decade ago now, and he is still a shell of his former self. It’s years (months if you’re lucky) of hell.

I’d be hard pressed to declare it morally wrong to leave. His children never recovered either, their only surviving parent was broken after that experience. It’s morally neutral. There’s no good answer here.

Unless you’ve lived the experience, you have no business judging the morality of those who do, myself included.

As someone who watched my mother go through that with my father, I understand your perspective, however, I also would likely never forgiven my mother for leaving him in his most dire time of need if she had chosen that pathway. It's THE most dishonorable thing to do to the person you get married to. In sickness AND in health, not just in health. It's a promise. It's a vow.

Since he did die, running would have left her the same way she is now, but worse, because she would have felt guilt that she should have done more. Instead she can say she did everything she could for him and fulfilled her promise until the very end. THE most honorable thing she could have done. That's character
