Woman Finds Expensive Bracelet Her Husband Took From His Ex-Wife and Demands He Gives It Back
Her husband believes his ex-wife owes him because he paid for part of her cancer treatment while they were married.
“To love and honor… In sickness and in health…” Are you familiar with these lines?
Even if you were never married, you’ve attended a wedding or seen it in movies. The people who make such promises really seem like they will keep them.
However, the reality is quite different. Many people take these words for granted, or they don’t believe that hard times will ever come.
They don’t realize that the question is not IF, but WHEN hard times will arrive. Every marriage has its rough patches.
And that’s a fact. It is never all roses.
However, how we deal with these rough times determines what kind of people we are. One Reddit user had a chance to see her husband’s true colors, and she didn’t like what she saw.
She posted a question: “AITA for giving my husband one day to return the bracelet that he took from his daughter's mom?” Her story is truly shocking, and it’s hard to believe that people like her husband exist.
Well, we are not lying. Actually, it is not that hard to believe because we all know people like that. And that's the sad part.
Take a look at our story:
OP asks:
RedditShe's been married for two years to a man who has a previous marriage and a 9-year-old daughter.
RedditThe ex-wife gets only weekly visits because she is undergoing cancer treatment.
Reddit
One day, they couldn't find the ex-wife at her home, and the husband had spent some time alone in the house.
Reddit
OP was cleaning the bedroom and found a bracelet.
Reddit
And all hell broke loose:
Reddit
The husband's explanation was ruthless and shocking.
Reddit
OP wants to return the bracelet, but the husband says it will ruin their relationship.
Reddit
So OP now asks for an objective opinion.
Reddit
Redditors found it hard to be objective because the husband is a very, very bad human being.
Reddit
What about 'in sickness and in health?'
Reddit
Shocking display of inhumanity.
Reddit
This is karma. You give love - you receive love. And what can OP's husband expect?
Reddit
And that's how you do it.
Reddit
Huge red flag!
Reddit
"A glimpse of your future..." Everything is clear.
Reddit
OP shouldn't back down.
Reddit
OP should run far and fast.
Reddit
She should take better care of herself.

Sadly, this is very true—abusive men can be very charming.

Researchers from the University of Michigan found that the risk of divorce is higher for older couples when the wife gets sick. According to Dr. Gary Chapman, a marriage counselor, "Illness can put a significant strain on relationships, particularly when one partner is unable to provide the support the other needs." In fact, studies indicate that 75% of couples facing chronic illness end up divorcing.
Researchers from Michigan examined 20 years of data on 2,717 married couples for their study. At the outset of the trial, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50. Cancer, heart illness, lung disease, and stroke were also investigated, as well as how they affected marriages.
Unfortunately, many men don't stick around when their wives get sick. But the question is, why do other women choose such men?
