Can't blame him, some cancers can drag out for years.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

I most certainly can blame him, whoever he was, as he vowed to stay with her "for better or worse."

Now as a divorce lawyer I'm in favor of no fault divorce, but leaving an ill spouse just because she's ill is the cheapest of cheap shots and tells volumes about his character, or lack thereof.

Boris Johnson?
Boris was already estranged from his second wife, and living with his mistress, now third wife, when the wife was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Apparently she kicked him out after he had had many affairs and fathered at least one 'love' child.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7345863/Boris-Johnsons-estranged-wife-Marina-Wheeler-diagnosed-cervical-cancer-three-months-ago.html.
"At the time of her diagnoses, Boris was fighting to become the prime minister while living with 31-year-old girlfriend Carrie Symonds. "

Boris is not known or respected for his moral fortitude. He's a philanderer, a cad and a bounder. $:o)

When he was considering the Brexit situation, he flipped from being passionately anti-Brexit to appearing pro Brexit, simply because it served his own purpose in seeking power as Prime Minister.

Trump going big on Jan 6
He's holding a press conference to celebrate his almost coup.
No doubt he will insist the major 2022 election issue will be him winning in a landslide 2020
Trump will demand all Republicans running for office claim Trump won or they will get primaried.
Not only won, but won in a landslide or Trump will label you a Rino.

How much Disney stock is travel and tourist related? It's not exactly been a banner 2 years for large crowds mingling.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
