Just don’t look into what he did to his wife

She gave up everything for him. Her passions, time, health, and eventually, even her life. Then he moves on immediately as if he were glad that she’s finally gone. It’s pretty depressing.
The worst part is thinking of how many women did the same thing for their husbands through history. There’s even a common saying that is seen as empowering, but I hate it with a passion: “Behind every great man is a great woman.”
[…] behind every great man is a woman dedicated to his greatness whilst behind every great woman is a man dedicated to bringing her down.

I detect no lies.
Agree this is depressing, but the act of moving on quickly after a s/o dies doesn’t always signify a lack of love for that person. It’s an old fashioned notion that there’s some sort of magic waiting period one must go through before moving on without being seen as callous. Losing someone can leave a really big hole in your life and people can react to this in a lot of different and desperate ways. I wouldn’t continue to judge based on some construct of mandatory waiting period.
All that aside it does sound like for other reasons the doctor was pretty slimy which is a pity to hear as I liked his literature.
Are you speaking generally? If so, I agree with you. However, if you read the whole story, it’s pretty clear in this instance that he didn’t love her by the end.
