Her husband really just abandoned her for an Australian tour only to return, mostly abandon her again during their European tour, ignored the fact that she was sick until it turned into bronchitis and then pneumonia, didn’t lift a hand when she started fainting CONSTANTLY, and then insulted and diminished her history of violent trauma. What a piece of shit.

Sometimes I genuinely cannot stand reading things like this. Listen: men will NEVER get better. They will always be selfish and disgusting and awful and untrustworthy. The fact that this man, her HUSBAND, canceled their honeymoon for a stupid BAND tour, and then lied about it and tricked her for MONTHS and MONTHS afterward….honey, you needed to leave yesterday. That is ridiculous.
