Bf is dumping me

I was diagnosed with stage 2, grade 3 triple negative breast cancer in December 2024. Age 51. My house was up for sale and I was supposed to be moving in with my bf over 150 miles away on the Isle of Wight .  We have been together for 4 years . He came with me for my oncologist appointment on 2nd Jan 2025 and I haven’t seen him since . I have put my house sale on hold now. He has a structural engineering business and uses it as an excuse not to see me. He now says he’s too busy with work , but every weekend he’s arranging to go out with his friends for curry nights, bowling, birthdays and stay at their homes or a hotel . He had time for me before. He would find time for a holiday abroad whenever he wanted, before my diagnosis , so it’s looking like he just doesn’t care. My cancer diagnosis is already hard to deal with , but being dumped in slow motion is the hardest most heartbreaking thing and I’m wondering why am I even bothering with chemo? I’ve lost the will to live.

  • Oh Nayno, this must be absolutely horrible for you, but it is a fact that when we are going through a crisis in our lives, we find out who our real friends/loved ones are.  It is awful that you had to find out what sort of a Man he is due to a cancer diagnosis, but thank goodness you discovered the truth about him BEFORE you sold up and moved miles away to be with him.  You have had two devastating blows, but the important thing now is YOU.  You must concentrate on getting better, and you might not think so right at this moment, but you WILL find that life is worth living...........the sun will shine again for you Nayno.  Hang in there and keep fighting mate, you are stronger than you think, xx
