Is this grounds for divorce?

We are having some roofing work done soon and DH (81 but quite fit) decided he would go up and see for himself before the roofers came to quote. I shoild add that we have used the same roofers for years and they are very trustworthy.

He missed his footing, stepped out of his shoe's and cut his foot on a slate. It bled profusely and we are on the way to the urgent care centre.

I should add that i told him not to but then went out.

Oh dear Kitty, thank goodness it was not worse and DH fell off the roof.
These hospital emergency programmes often feature 'older men ' who insisted, against the wisdom of their wives, on doing a roof repair/inspection!
It's a YES, from me. 🤣
But wishing DH a good recovery of course. I doubt he'll do anything like that again. 😂

I know this isn't a laughing matter, but it has still made me laugh picturing your husband climbing up on the roof. Hope everything turns out OK.

Perhaps a short legal separation or a legal telling off but not divorce, well not for the first time !!

All I can say is, for or not, that would highly irresponsible and thank goodness it wasn’t so much worse!

I do wish him a speedy and full recovery, but I’d be livid with him!

Sorry…. First line should be, fairly fit or not…

I’d say so……why can’t they just listen, especially as we’re always right?!
Maybe I should read this out to my old boy, who despite anything I say, insists on climbing the steep ladder to the loft wearing sloppy old slippers! confused
Hope Mr KL has not done too much
damage to his foot, just enough to keep him off that roof! smile
