my fiance, 60, has had numerous polyps removed in a colonoscopy yesterday and is very sick, and i believe convinced he has cancer already. We are waiting for biopsy results.
I am 40s and our age gap works for us and has for some time.
However today after this removal of polyps he told me he feels i am wasting my life with him as his body is giving up and he cant give me children or a long life and we should split.
He is acting like he has a bad diagnosis already - and maybe he truly feels as if he does. he says he is so tired and it takes all his strength to get out of bed and he doesnt want to see anyone, evenme. i believe he is depressed also after all this illness starting in the last while.
However i will not leave him regardless and told him that, that i dont care about kids or futures, that he is my happy choice no matter what.
Is it normal for partners to push people away when sick?
