My husband and I had an amazing relationship, until I was diagnosed with sarcoma last year, now all we do is argue, I feel he treats me like shit.  He’s angry all the time and I feel he’s angry at me.  I have given him the option to leave me and meet someone else, but he says he loves me, anytime I have a bad day or cry he tells me crying won’t solve anything I feel he has no emotions towards my diagnosis and it’s breaking me 

  • I am so sorry to hear about the challenges you are having. Cancer affects all parts of life and indeed all members of the family........ at times it's very hard to navigate the difficult times.

    Could I suggest that you call the Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. These services practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.

    Talking to people face to face can be very helpful so do check to see if you have any Local Macmillan Support in your area, do also check for a local Maggie's Centre as these folks are amazing.

    ((hugs))

    hi Annie1974 I have a fabulous husband but I feel sometimes he doesn’t want to face the reality of my cancer diagnosis. I feel sometimes it’s easier for him to switch off when I sometimes just want a bit of reassurance when I am feeling down. I really hope you find the support you need.

    Sending hugs Maxine
