I Ditched My Wife When She Helped A Male Nurse
My father was hospitalized with a fractured bone. He needed someone to look after him.
My wife, Alma, who was also a doctor, said she had to attend the Lancet conference abroad. She claimed it was an event she could not miss.
While I was caring for my father, my younger brother, Jack, forwarded a short video to me.
“Clyde, you need to look at this video of Alma.”
In the video, Alma, who always took great care of her hands, was assembling parts on an assembly line at an electronics factory.
I looked up info on who uploaded the photo. It was Tobias Zidel, a male nurse from her department.
He captioned the video:
[From the operating table to my assembly line. A true woman of all trades!]
I resisted the urge to confront her. Instead, I forwarded the video to the department’s group chat.
[I wonder how much Dr. Ashford earns per day working at Mr. Zidel’s family factory?]
The group chat instantly exploded with messages. The video spread across the entire hospital.
Alma bombarded me with frantic phone calls.
She demanded that I retract the message.
“Come with a written apology on Monday. You will apologize to Mr. Zidel publicly during the meeting!”
I hung up decisively.
Then, I scheduled an appointment to file for divorce. I did not want a wife like this.
