She tells me of her friend, whose husband has gone crazy since the earthquake. At the time of the radiation scare, he took the family to Singapore. it was there that he told his wife that he would leave her. He is in love with a younger colleague and wants to make life count.
A few weeks later he turns up on his wife's doorstep. He tells her that he wants to die, he had read online that this can be achieved if you starve your body of water for five days. He wants to do this in their old spare room - she allows him in...
Five days later he is still alive though, although not in the best of health. The Mother in law arrives and asks if he needs anything - he needs a pineapple...
He also now loves his wife again and will drink water....I really hope she leaves this nutter. I think that she is now just waiting for the cash that he has promised her & the kids. Apparently, he holds a senior position at an investment bank, and during his water starvation, he went to work every day, living a 'normal' life!
