“As far as reasons go for wanting to do something like this and risk our relationship, I can at least somewhat get it. I’m not saying she’s in the right to ask me this just because she’s dying, but I’m also not saying she’s inherently wrong. I don’t know what I would do if I was in her position.”
“I would like to think that I’d just want to live the rest of my life with the person I love most and experience the world together, but I’ve never been told I had two years or less to live.”
He can understand where his girlfriend is coming from, and he gets that she does want to live footloose and fancy-free while she still has time.
His empathy for her situation doesn’t make it hurt any less that she wants to see other people, though, and he’s scared that will destroy their relationship. He really does love his girlfriend deeply, and he does not want to do anything to cause her to resent him at all with her time left.
“I’m mad at her for putting me in this position because I honestly don’t see how we will last if she opts to do this,” he continued.
“But then thinking of her in the hospital with no one by her side in her last few weeks breaks my heart. Or her coming home to an empty house on days when she has nothing else planned. It’s just sad to think about.”
What would you do in his situation?
