Contender for the "Most horrible person on the planet" award

Eh. This is one of those deals where you'd have to walk in the person's moccasins. She faced two scenarios: Either he got well or he died. If he got well, she probably wouldn't have been able to cross back over to where she'd been in the marriage before he got sick, so resumption of a happy marriage was not in the cards. Or she could endure an unhappy state until he died. Either way, she lost her happy state. It sounds like, fairly or not, he killed her love with his behavior. The decision to divorce him was cold, but why extend her misery? What would that serve for either of them?

Remind me to never marry you.

I tend to agree.
We know little detail, but I can imagine circumstances where I could understand why she did what she did. Maybe she is awful, but then again maybe she merely has a healthy dose of self defense.
