Covert aggressive coworker "hated" me and ADORED his Tradwife until she inconvenienced him w/ Stage 4 Cancer and asked me to replace her.

A recent post reminded me of the time this absolute hostile manchild I worked with told me that his wife was diagnosed with cancer and he jokingly stated he was looking for a replacement. He cited that statistic (whether true or not) that men leave their sick wives. He told me it was normal and "part of survival;" he stated he was serious and that I would be a good match for him because of the way I raised my children. He also wanted me to know that I'd be spoiled like his then wife. This man had been nothing but rude and disrespectful towards me up until this point and suddenly he was telling me matter of factly that I could be his new wife as if I asked or cared. More importantly, he had just received the news that his wife was dying and immediately began shopping around for a replacement. This was a man who claimed to adore and admire his spouse. Before this incident he would attempt to belittle me by comparing me to her for no reason. He was always singing her praises and saying how lucky he was to have her. Reminder to choose your spouse wisely. His wife believed that his willingness to spoil her was a sign of his love and devotion when the truth was he was willing to do it for whoever was having sex with him and doing all the childrearing labor (she gave him 5 children). I recently commented on another post how misogynistic women (Pick-Mes) end up marrying misogynistic men who are not genuinely loving or loyal. Pushing the Trad wife narrative is going to lead to a lot of women being trapped in a loveless marriage where they will be replaced as soon as the man feels inconvenienced or bored.

Additionally, I want to add that if your partner despises a woman at work who hasn't really done anything to him, he's most likey attracted to her and can't handle not being able to sleep with her. I've seen this play out so many times at this point, it's pathetic.

Edit- I forgot to mention that his wife did pass. Before she passed she got better for a bit and he would rage about her going to the gym and taking their toddler to childcare. At the time she believed she recovered and was celebrating with a " personal wellness journey." The cancer came back and spread to her brain. She basically spent about 2.5 years dying. A month after burying her he was traveling with his new gf (20 years his Junior).
