伟大的女人

Part 1 Question:
Ladies, if your businessman husband was found cheating on you years ago (behind your back, of course), his mistress then cheated his money and ran away with another man. Now, your husband is back in Singapore and down with a rare form of cancer which slowly eats into his brain and hence he is losing his motor and speech function day by day until he dies. Would you be magnanimous enough to take him back and care for him until the day he dies?

My Answer:
I am not sure myself but I sure will be very bitter and upset for a moment when the truth of his affair surfaces and may not consider taking him back. However, now that he is sick and dying, the compassionate part of me would over-right my rational thoughts and hence, I may consider taking care of him until he dies, afterall, isn't that what is stated in the vows of marriage: in sickness and in health, I shall not forsake you.

Part 2 Question: During the period of time that you are caring for him, he is constantly ventilation his frustrations at you, ranting at you and even verbally abusing you. Not only that, he accuses you of having an affair behind his back. (Mind you, he is still very much alert and rational.) Would you now scream back at him for false accusation when he is the one who has let you down in the first place? Would now forsake him and leave him at a hospice care as an inpatient and wash your duties as a wife off to care for him?

My Answer: I may scream back at him and even dump him in a hospice inpatient care as I have low threshold for such ungratefulness. However, I may still go to the hospice to visit him but I guess by then love is no longer be present.
