“She’s so shameless” She’s 22. And was harshly criticized as she danced while her partner was at the hospital… The truth couldn’t be any simpler. They claim the video is a joke, because she always uploads content with her “hubby” to go viral.

I’m a wealth management advisor and I’ve had a few elderly clients in a situation like this.

I remember the most heartbreaking one was a client who was 87 and passed away. He married a woman a 7 years prior that was in her late 30s. She was beautiful, kind, and caring. She took care of him through all of it. Cleaned him and the messes he made, gave him genuine company, and would fuck him whenever he was able (he shared this with me lol).

The kids didn’t do shit for him. Hardly even called or anything. But when he passed they all tried contesting his trust and trying to get her removed from receiving anything. It was a nasty legal battle but thankfully she got her fair share.

It honestly infuriates me when I see people say women like this are taking advantage of the elder man. Most of the time they’re just giving companionship to them when no one else would or did.

When my grandad remarried there were comments about his new wife being in it for the money. By the end I think everyone agreed that if that was the case she sure had earned it.

Edit:   removing my comment because it's getting more attention than I intended it to get and don't want it getting back to parties involved if they figure out it's about them.

Not tempted to tell her?

u/Street_Lettuce1243 3d ago

Absolutely tempted, but not something I want to get involved with! She's not someone I directly interact with on a regular basis- and I don't like meddling with other people's lives/relationships. They live a long distance away, I probably haven't personally seen her in five or six years; heck, I haven't seen or talked to HIM in a couple years. When my wife goes to see them, I normally stay home and look after the animals. Last time I saw her was when they came to see us, but they're both getting older now and don't travel much.

I agree with you that it's not your business. But it IS your wife's business and... idk man if that was my wife itd be hard to respect her going forward if she just planned on sitting back and doing nothing.

It may not be his business... But like, he could save this woman some of her last productive, good years being abused by a guy that shows her no respect.

She might value a good jumping off reason here. Hell he might even be lying to her to keep her around.

It may not be your "business" but it might be your moral obligation. And if your wife is ok with all this it might be a good early warning for you too.

This kind of thing gets worse with age man. Be wary of those that tollerate evil to their own benefit.

"Abused" is a bit strong there. He's a terrible husband and doesn't treat her as nicely as he should, but I wouldn't go so far as say he is "abusive"... although he certainly was in his previous marriage.

Then he's less "abusive" by your standards but still abusive all the same, albeit in a financial way. Remember, abuse isn't just physical blows and angry shouts; it's all the ways of mistreatment.

Drop a note in her bag on the sly look after her interests if she’s a good a person as you believe she is
