Husband leaves wife drowning...

Does he qualify for the husband of the year award ????

JEDDAH: The floods shocked many, especially a Saudi wife whose husband fled for his life and left her to drown in a car filling up with water. Pakistani truck driver Shahzad (not his real name) witnessed the cowardly act.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes when this man left his wife to die. I couldn’t bear the sight of the drowning woman shouting for help,” he said.

“I got down from the truck and half swam and half waded to her and carried her on my back and brought her to safety.

We were petrified from what we saw happening around us. The woman was crying a lot. We waited till the Civil Defense helicopter came to rescue us.”

Expect the un-expected from MANKIND under extreme circumstances.

However, it is kinda expected from Saudis.

After years of living with his wife, he might that thought that this is a good opportunity to (ahem)..get rid of her. No explanations needed.

Or like Atif said, when the make up ran off & her true face was exposed....lol

are selfish....but not to this extent.

When one have many open options available ;)

we should hear husband's story as well.....May be a selfish coward running for his own life?

Inshort, his title 'Husband' should be taken off, who could not protect.....

I'am sure if I was married and had my wife on the same boat,I would have definately given her the life jacket first.

When that moment comes its own life which is more important to some poeple...

Unfortunately had witnessed a similar situation...

we went for a boat trip few yrs back...in the middle of the sea we saw water in the boat and realized that something went wrong and we were slowly drowning...tried to call coast gaurd...police all possible numbers they all asked to call different numbers...

There were not enough life jackets..some husbands caught hold of the life jacket and wore themselves than giving it to their wife and kids..HOW SELFISH SOME MEN ARE... whereas all the wives were putting life jackets for their kids first...thats the difference..

she must claim DIVORCE from her coward husband and the Saudi Govt must give him atleast 20 lashes on Humanity grounds by leaving his responsibility (wife) unattended in such crucial & most needy time.

guys you didn't think of one crucial point that as we all know how ARAB women are fond of MAKEUP.

.

So when the water was pouring in their car, her makeup washed away and she revealed her true face beauty. That's when her husband saw her and said WTF!!!!!!!!! and ran away

I dont know about that snessy, i wouldve possibly cooked him a nice dinner and maybe added some nice powder to it, why bother with solicitors lol?

By snessy• 9 Dec 2009 22:19
snessy

Nadt, if that had been me, I don't think we would've had anything to discuss other than through our solicitors :-)

Britexpat, you're probably right, he swam away to get help from somenone else who could swim to help his wife ;-)

or maybe sand, he was runnig to rescue his second wife somewhere close by.

lol eco, we typed the same thing at the same time. I think your right eco, she would stay with him, would be crazy too though.

Oh Brit, typical male behaviour, always making excuses for one another.

By anonymous• 9 Dec 2009 22:16

nadt most probably the guy shouted "WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I CAME BACK WITH HELP. I SAW YOU IN THE ARMS OF ANOTHER MAN. YOU CHEATER, DIVORCE, DIVORCE, DIVORCE"

By anonymous• 9 Dec 2009 22:15
anonymous

instead of both of them getting drowned (and nobody will be left to take care of the children), the husband is just choosing the lesser evil! Lol!!!! And we know that he can get a "replacement" (joke)

"I'm back, simple as that"

By nadt• 9 Dec 2009 22:13

true progression, what was i thinking ;-)

Yeah Snessy, he seems very reliable, i would love to know what this couples follow up conversation was after this incident.

By anonymous• 9 Dec 2009 22:13

i wouldnt be surprised if she is still married to him

By britexpat• 9 Dec 2009 22:13

You are a cynical lot. Perhaps he couldn't swim or more likely he was going for help.

By snessy• 9 Dec 2009 22:09

It's good to know she was able to rely on her husband in her hour of need, LOL :-)

i am sure that man who left his wife drowning is QL member. he wants to prove that marriage contract has this expiration, or maybe he wants to know the goodness of being married and then turned single in a blink of an eye.

for that good samaritan, i believed he has this grugde against the man. so to make even, he saved the wife.

as for you brit, i believe you are trying to get rid of your wife also. lol
