A few months ago I was diagnosed with prostate Cancer, post returning from travelling in Spain. It was a shock but I thought I was in a strong relationship and had support in place. On same day post a negative outcome from MRI , my ex simply ended us. Like all relationships it wasn't perfect, together but apart living separately but I thought it was secure. Since that day zero contact, we were 3.5 years in, and I've not reached out as been focussed on getting beyond this . Is what it is and I've since been close with another lady, but still find it hard to wrap my head around. Just wondered if anyone else has had similar reactions.
Hello Wil4521b9f4a4 It's not happened to me (married for 47 years) however on diagnosis I did tell all my family and friends - it was obvious I was ill as I had 10 days in hospital. In the days that followed one set of "good friends" just vanished from our social circle - we later found out they were "unable to cope with cancer"!! Well there you go, not quite the same but yes it does happen. I wish you well moving forward with your new lady friend - some treatments for prostate cancer can be challenging when it comes to sexual relations. Best wishes - Brian.

Thanks for this , I'd began to think I was , special, 
. I hope you have come to terms with it. Tbh it was of and on at times , but we were looking at next step co habitat and I thought that was the direction of travel. Still every cloud....and I've met someone I'd known a while who stepped up. Early days , but I'm glad I got to see my ex true colours and now focused on getting past this bump on the road of life.
