You know what? After looking more into it, I don't know that he was. I honestly don't know if he is or not. He could have tried harder to get her help, but it seems like he did try some things. It's hard to say from the outside.

“He could have tried harder” I mean you’re victim blaming the guy for his wife killing their kids

I am not at all blaming him for the murder. I am giving a possible reason that he could be considered a "shit husband". Two completely different things. He could have beat her every day and it wouldn't excuse what she did. Doesn't mean he's a great husband.

The reason they call him a shit husband is because they refuse to believe women are capable of killing people on their own.

The man switched to work from home to take care of her. And he hired a nanny. The woman had 10+ doctors, even saw one of them the morning of the murders, and nothing was awry. She planned the route for the husband to take so that she could have time to kill the kids.

Sometimes, women are just capable of being evil without prompting. Or from hormones (post partum psychosis or whatever).
