So, here's a poll.

You've been in a relationship with a woman for 15 years. She has a mastectomy. Would you leave her (just) for that reason?

John came with me to visit mom at the nursing home today. He came back to the house with me and, as always, stayed ten freakin' minutes too long. We were talking about mom having gotten a shower this morning at the nursing home, and he said, "You know, Maggie, your mom's lucky I stayed with her after her mastectomy. Most men never would have."

What do you say to that? I'm making it anonymous so you're comfortable answering either way.

I think "most" men would stay. "Most" being defined as something over 50%+1. I think a sizable minority would leave, but I believe that most of them wouldn't aware that that's the reasoning.

Par for the course with that guy. :roll:

I don't even know the person, but he sounds like he has a cold heart. To me it wouldn't matter if you knew the person one year or ten years, you're in the relationship, you're committed to that person. I just hope he had the moral and ethical brains enough not to say such a thing to Maggie's mom.

Since he's probably said it to me 5 or 6 times, I'm pretty sure he said it to mom. He's an asshole. Now, it doesn't matter to mom anymore. She's deep in dementia, and she's focussed on very small things that revolve around her like food and pain. She did deserve better. She just never knew it...

I am so, so sorry, and speechless now. I don't know what to say.

At this age, I'd probably leave. If we're like 70, I'd stay. What's the point at that age? Breasts don't affect us talking in our rockers on the porch.

People with ^ this mentality are what make the world such an empty place to live. No loyalty.. just self centered cowardice. It's pathetic.

And the funny thing is that if Gipper has a pair of boobs other than his own to fondle and caress, I'd be amazed.

Some women contribute nothing but looks. Giving good head can make a guy forget foot-based abuse against puppies.

I'm definitely a boob man, but I wouldn't leave my wife if she had to get a mastectomy. I'd definitely encourage her to get implants though.

That's when I would have kneed John in the nuts. Twice.

 

[Risky Thicket]

No. That'd simply be selfish and wrong. Love (of the sincere variety, anyway) is about more than physical appearances.

Besides, post-mastectomy reconstructive surgery is pretty widely available these days, so the problem can potentially be corrected.

Spoiler

And I've frankly always been more of an ass man anyway. :mrgreen:

Damn right. If we're talking assectomy I'd have to give the question some thought.

I would say he has pretty low expectations for himself. You're not SUPPOSED to leave her, stop acting like it is some kind of grand achievement.

 

[NoC_T]

I love my wife and if she needed that to live I would stay with her. Any man who doesn't is a pig....plain and simple. You don't marry breasts.

Let's not go overboard, here.

 

[NoC_T]

I'd kick that guy's backside so hard he wouldn't even touch the gate as he flew over it onto the street.

Why are Scottish women so violent?

Hey, sexist! Scottish PEOPLE are violent.

You're right. My bad.

If I loved her, heaven and hell couldn't force me to part with her. My one and only wife of ten years died fairly young, before she was 40. I never remarried. The last few years were rough, a lot of hospital time and visits. It just kicks me in the ass that some men would abandon their soulmate over something like a mastectomy. Talk about vapid character in all its onion skin depth. Woman are better off without guys like that.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Pogo.

If a man would leave a woman over a mastectomy, that wasn't a soulmate.

 

[Sykes]

I'm really not understanding you, Gipper. Are you honestly saying that if you loved a woman enough to marry her and want to spend your life with her and take those vows which include sickness and health, you would bail if she had to lose a breast to save her life? I'm not surprised, I've read enough of your posts. So yeah - I believe you're serious. I hope she has a good support system, because obviously you're not going to be there while she tries to survive chemo.

I'm getting misty just at the thought of such a thing befalling my dear heart.

Why would you leave her for that?

 

[tecoyah]

My wife has extremely attractive breasts (enhanced).....but they are most certainly not the reason she is my wife. If they were to be removed for some reason, she would still be the woman I love. Knowing her need for beauty however, she would have new ones installed promptly.

 

[Jetboogieman]

The only thing that would make me leave my woman is if she was unfaithful to me.

If she was in a situation in which she had to have a mastectomy her health and wellbeing would be the only thing that mattered to me.

 

[MaggieD]

I would say he has pretty low expectations for himself. You're not SUPPOSED to leave her, stop acting like it is some kind of grand achievement.

That's VERY insightful. I thought about this for a few minutes, and I agree. I'd also add that it shows he thinks very little of the rest of us as well.

"John, very few guys would leave a woman they love for that!"

"Oh, yes they would. Don't kid yourself. She's lucky it was me."

 

[Sykes]

John's full of ****, that's rather obvious.

He sounds like SUCH an arrogant jerk Maggie. What makes him think HE is such a catch anyway? I really don't know what your mom sees in this guy. Hopefully he's nicer to her face.
