Yes, and former house speaker Newt Gingrich famously left his dying wife while branding the GOP as the party of family values, for which everyone should in fact blame him. Anecdotes are useless, do you have any data that suggests that women are more likely than men to leave a partner due to illness?

These are all good points but they feel very insensitive in tone given that OP has shared something personal; I'm not sure if you realise what you're doing

When something personal is shared, it becomes something to discuss. Especially when its a larger observation concerning what others, not the person, do.
