Hi Ness

From the other side point of view, when my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer his way of dealing with it was to distance himself from me even though I wanted more than anything for this not to be the case.  In the end after many tears and frustrations we came to an agreement that I would respect his feelings as long as he appreciated mine and if he wanted anything he would have to ask as  I could not mindread.  It was the saddest part of his illness during our 37 years of marriage that he would not let me support him as we travelled his cancer journey together through to his passing.

Like Brian has said I hope you can talk to each other and let him know how you feel.  Best wishes Jules54
