My ex husband has months to live

Hi all, I need your advice. My ex husband has terminal cancer and has now been told he has between 2-4 months left to live. I am 29 and he is 30 next month. I have broke down hearing this news (he had cancer whilst we was married, but unfortunately we just didn't work out) I did always support him through his cancer. My new partner (who I have a baby with) has not been happy the fact I am upset about this and won't let me make contact with my ex husband. Also not happy for me to attend the funeral when he passes. Is my partner out of order? I have no feelings towards my ex husband but we did go through alot together his cancer, his epilepsy and a miscarriage. Should I attend his funeral and pay my respects? Or should I stay away? Thanks.

 

  • Hi

    Sorry to read about your ex. I think only you can make that decision about attending when it happens and your new partner probably is just worrying about your feelings. I do understand him not being happy about seeing him but it's likely again his concern is how it will affect you. 

    My ex died in 2009 we had been apart for 4 years his was mainly through alcohol. When I left him he did everything to make mine and our children's lives miserable, they were 17 & 19 but I attended his funeral. 1 to support them, but also we had been happy in the beginning and had been together 20 years. 

    Best wishes
