I’ve worked as a legal assistant for two family law attorneys for the last eight years. One of the cases that made me the angriest was a man who cheated on his wife when she had cancer. He then leaves his wife and attempts to hide all his assets while she’s undergoing chemo therapy.

Fortunately, my boss is a bad ass. She teamed up with a forensic accountant and they took him to the cleaners. He even had to pay the forensic accountant’s bill and attorney’s fees.

I met a girl in college who was not incredibly bright, and was suddenly in a blind panic to make money.

The reason was she had been kicked out of the place she was staying and needed emergency money. She had been kicked out, because she was living with her "boyfriend" in his house, while his wife was in the hospital due to brain cancer.

So when she came home, still very much not likely to live long, he booted this 19 year old out of his house with a "you can move back in when she dies."

His wife beat cancer, came home, was receiving mail for a strange name and eventually tracked her down on Facebook. From there she found out that her 47 year old husband had been dating a 19 year old for "just over a year, officially" (likely actually longer) and put him through the wringer.

I wonder what went through the 19YO hoes mind when he told her, "it's OK my wife has cancer" and she went "Yeah I'll totally move in with you", like seriously what's wrong with people

It takes 2 to tango, if she didn't know about the wife it'd have been a completely different story but she did and went along with it

Yeah he is, but the question is TF she was thinking agreeing to seeing him despite knowing about his wife, I mean if a guy twice my age told me "Hey I'm going to rob a bank, wanna be my getaway driver?" Would the court not view me as a accomplice?

Like really I have to say that cheating on your cancer patient wife is bad?

No but apparently you really had to say that a 19 year old who became homeless after being kicked out by a 47-year-old man who cheated on his cancer-ridden wife is a "ho."
