The intention was apparent even then

My spouse and I met in February 1996 and eloped in June of the same year.  It would have been courteous of him—if not the right action to take—to advise me of his intention to retain his Single status on his health insurance, and therefore, for me to keep my then-job with its full benefits instead of unknowingly went without health insurance.

What human being would willingly do such a thing to someone they claimed to love?
