Did you know that women are 3-7 times more likely to be divorced when they are seriously ill?

Some insights on why men leave, and what kind of men would more likely stay through health and sickness in marriage.
Men tend to leave their wife when they don't get to have sex or have less sex after their wife gets sick.

It could be proposed that men who exhibit consummate love (intimacy+passion+commitment) will stay compared to men who are overly passionate and lack commitment.
Researchers suggest that men leave due to believing that being a caregiver is not a man's role.

We can hypothesize that those who are adamant in gender roles will find it hard to stay as they experience heavy dissonance. Men who believe in gender equality would fare better.
Fear of abandonment was also cited as a reason for divorcing a sick wife.

Men would leave their sick wife as a way to reduce the potential emotional pain if the wife fails to recover. Some traits indicative of abandonment issues are extreme jealousy and controlling behavior.
Other factors include the lack of emotional support for men.

As a lot of men rely solely on their wife as the main confidant, they tend to experience isolation when their wife fell ill. As such, men who are emotionally open should be more resilient than men who are closed-off.
The reality is, the majority of men who support gender roles WILL LEAVE their sick wife.

To men. Stick to your commitments. Drop your archaic beliefs about gender. Deal with your fears. Don't be dependent on one person for emotional support.

Be the right man for your wife.
