Men leaving their wives at such difficult times as cancer do not deserve the title of "man" and "husband". Such selfishness demands that these people should be excluded from society and humanity!

This behaviour results in:
the demise of a relationship of husband and wife
the breach of trust among the two partners for life
the loss of faith of the woman on all other people especially men
the feeling of being untoucable or unbearable or unwanted or no more required
and most importantly bereavement of the urge and desire to live!!!

I personally feel the men abandoning their wives just becuase of some disease or illness should be charged with murder.

And one last thing: The research tagline reads: Men more likely to abandon partner during illness... so this is something women are also doing but likelihood of this among men is higher, but still women are also the same thing, with a lesser percentage certainly. The other side is not brighter as well.
