My wonderful boyfriend and I have been together for less than a year and his diagnosis has exploded like a bomb between us. It has taken so much from us already and it's still only early days. It has been such a massive shock and over the last couple of months he has been pushing and pushing until now he barely communicates with me at all.

I've told him I will be there for him but he tells me that everything has changed and he doesn't know what he wants anymore. It had been very hurtful and I don't know what to do for the best.

I feel very selfish but I also think my needs have to be acknowledged. He says he still loves me but how the hell do we get through this?
