Well I have cancer for the third time and its been hard on everyone. I just started chemo again. Ive been with my boyfriend for 4 years and the day before I left for the hospital he told me he doesnt know if he can be there for me this time and that there was a girl at his work that liked him(who has 2 kids and a fiance, one of her kids is 2 months old) I could tell he liked her back because when I went up there to eat they were talking to each other constantly right in front of my face even though I told him several times it was bothering me(this was before he told me she liked him but I could tell).  It started out with her giving him her number and adding him on facebook and when I asked him who she was he was like "she has a fiance and wants to hangout with us" but yet he didnt tell me about her until I asked and he didnt introduce us when I went up to his work. That night he starting telling me about how her fiance doesnt provide for her and steals from her purse and stuff.(which she lied about) Anyways so I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and he came to see me 1 time for like 2 hours. Sometimes I would call him and he would be like"why are you calling me i dont want to talk to you" and hangup. Sometimes he would talk to me though. I was already getting fed up of being treated that way while I was in the hospital fighting for my life.

when I got home i found text messages from them she asked him if he had any regrets with her and he said no just nervous. she was tellin him how much she liked him and asking him to come over when he got off work(her fiance works nights) and he told her it would kill him to wait another day. It killed me to see him talk to another woman that way. So I left him and he was begging me to come home saying that he loved me and nothing happened with her that he was just lonely and they just had a couple of beers and then he went home. And that she came over once and had a beer and left. I confronted her on FB message and we really got into it with eachother. She started making fun of me for things that he had told her about me. Very personal things. Like about how I dont have a belly button from all my surgeries and how my hair is fake because my real hair fell out.  WHY WOULD HE TELL HER THAT STUFF?!?!? for a week all I could think about was beating her face into a bloody pulp, but im not going to do that. I dont think I can ever forgive him because I don't know what really happened between them. I know he stopped talking to her because i saw messages from her sayin quit ignoring me and stuff and he is getting a new job, but Im about to go back to the hospital in 2 days and theres gunna be more girls at his new job. I will never trust him again but we have been through so much together. I also have to add that in the past he used to sneak out at night to hangout with this girl but they were "just friends" I have left him other times but always come back. I don't know what to do????

    I've been in a similar situation. I personally believe you deserve someone better - someone who will be there for you, and focused on you, andhave sympathy for you, when you are sick. BUT the ultimate question that you have to ask yourself is: is your relationship with him causing you more pain than happiness? Is it worth it?

    First off I want to send my prayers that you recover soon and beat your cancer. Honey your physical condition is not where is should be right now, and being emotional is only fueling the cancer that ails you and that is not good. Right now you need to focus all your energy on getting better. I was in the hospital sick when my ex-husband cheated and I knew one thing for certain he was not worth my emotional or my physical well being and I would venture to say the same thing applies to you. Anger, sadness, discontent and any other emotions disrupts your physical state and remission will be almosts impossible if your mind is not settled. I truly sympathize with your situation and if you need someone to write to or send words of encouragement I will gladly offer my time, pen, ink, keystrokes or whatever else it took for you to leave this man and focus on your recovery. This occurence with you boyfriend is not an anomoly it is pattern and only you can break yourself free from it. Be strong - God bless you sweetheart and get well very very soon!

    Yes,

    I agree with Erika and Brookworm..and please accept my most sincere wishes for a speedy recovery. I will keep you in my prayers. I believe you already have the answers you think you are 'looking for'....This is a vulnerable time for you. Stress can be bad for our  health and especially when you are trying to fight cancer..That's enough fighting! You don't need to fight with this woman(and please don't blame her)...Blame your boyfriend. Your priority right now should be your recovery, your health and well-being. The last and the worst thing for you right now is stress of any kind.

    I also hate to break it to you..but things will never be the same so why bother at this point? Someone who can share those intimate(and silly) details with a 'fling' is not even worth mentioning! Wow..apalling behaviour! Who would do that? They basically made fun of someone who is fighting cancer...How dare them? I really hope they will never be in similar positionsone day...Karma is very powerful. Not to worry, you will have the last laugh..let them carry on. You concentrate on your health..I know it is not easy, but you MUST take care of yourself..because he won't and he is cold. Please know we are rooting for you...let us know how you are doing, and oh one last thing..Even with less hair(which is temporary BTW)...YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, IN EVERY SINGLE WAY..WORDS CAN'T BRING YOU DOWN...(listen to that song one more time(Cristina Aguilera)-and you are alive....alive...alive..Stay strong and take care!

    Your worth so much more than the skank your man is obviously cheating on you with! You need to leave him and not ever return because he doesn't love you if he loved you he wouldn't be talking to her about personal things going on with you and he would be up at the hospital with you for as long as it takes and not be running around with his pants unzipped and he's weiner looking for some action. Do yourself a favor and kick him to the curb.... You deserve better and they can have each other

    Reading through the replies and I must say, everyone has a lot of great advice...love the point ModeratorB2121 makes. I too, would like to quote a famous verse: I GOT ALL MY LIFE TO LIVE...I GOT ALL MY LOVE TO GIVE...I WILL SURVIVE!  I WILL SURVIVE! (Gloria Gaynor)  You do what you gotta do because: In a healing state, nothing could be more toxic than a douchebag boyfriend spreading negativity, insensitivity, and pain to someone who is trying to recover...and if it means flushing him out...then so be it. Are there any support groups in your area? Check into it...who knows who you just might meet...at least you'll meet people who will care and understand  what you're going through.

    You need to let this dirt bag go. You know full well that's something has been going on and probably still is. Let go of the garbage and focus on your health, your life.

    This man doesnt deserve you--he is weak and selfish.  You need someone who can help you heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually--not a manchild who needs someone to prop him up.  He does not deserve your loyalty or respect.  Please, for your sake, cut him loose

    I read your story.  Wow. You are one brave and courageous woman.  I've been through two long relationships, one unmarried for 9 years, he was twisted in a few ways, not cheating, but just had some issues with anger.  Then I married a real winner, he's got even more mental issues, and some deep character flaws...now for the last 13 years.  You can beg, plead, try to change a man's stripes, if they act like this, THERE IS A PROBLEM HOUSTON, and IT'S NOT YOU.   Sounds like u need to put on your Nike shoes, and run Gump RUN & don't look back.  He expects you to accept his secreative cheating or not so cheating ways...see men or women can cheat emotionally with the opposite sex without even sleeping with each other.  I seen this in my own relationships, esp. my spouse now.  He consistently needs his small ego rubbed.  I am really dumping him, and he doesn't even know it yet.  I am getting stronger mentally, physically and emotionally and NOT getting any younger.  I want true respect and YOU deserve it too.  I agree with another poster, go seek a support group of cancer survivors, and dump this loser.  He's not worth the camel in rode in ON !

    He should be by your side, thinking about your feelings and what you have to endure with this terrible illness, to me he is a selfish insensitive slug who is sucking all your emotional well being, you deserve better , your health and well being is taking a toll on you and he is not doing anything for you. he does not deserve your forgiveness, leave him as soon as you can.God bless you and I wish you all the best in whatever decision you make...I was with my husband for 17 years and he was a cheater too...now I am engaged to a wonderful loving Christian man whom I adore..Take Care.

    Dear Greenpeace205,

    In reply to your story, I have also been very ill, over the past 16 years and have been hospitalized many more times than I can count for weeks at a time. I have a disabling illness that has taken center stage in my life. For the past couple of years I have been on outpatient infusion treatments. During all this, I have been married to the same man for the past 20 years, and I was only healthy with him 4 of those years. Mind you I married when I was 18.  I first became ill when we became pregnant with our first child. The doctors called it "idiopathic" which means they don't know why I became ill and am still ill. During the battle I have faced he has always been there, he had to grow up very quickly and be a man who had to take care of me and our babies. HE HAS NEVER ONCE SAID I CAN'T DO THIS OR MADE FUN OF ME IN ANY WAY. I can't imagine what it is like for you to have a partner who isn't supportive. My advice to you is take care of you, if that means letting him go then so be it. Your intuition will not steer you astray. You are fighting for your life right now and wasting energy on his shortcomings is far to draining on your body. Of course right now he is going to try and make it better by seeking other employment but it sounds like you are aware of his behavior with other females.  It sounds as if he is not ready to commit and he is taking advantage of  your  history together. He knows how far his boundries are with you and continues to push them. If his intentions are good this time around I wish you the best with your relationship, but try to keep in mind your health and not to have any regrets. When one door closes another one opens.

    Your story has really touched me, you sound like a really strong person!There is no need for you to stay with someone who sees your pain as a joke, that is not love!

    Find peace and healing in the Bible, God knew you would face this and I believe you have it in you to overcome! I wish you all the best, my prayers are with you!

    Please do not feel any less of a woman, the fact that you woke up and wrote this means you are ready to fight, so please get rid of all the negative things in your life and "do you"!

    Focus what strength you have on this desease and don't waste your time on someone who clearly does not appreciate you!You really do deserve better!

    Keep believing for a miracle, our God is faithful, He never disappoints, He loves you and I'm sure there is so much in store for you!

    Good luck, we are all rooting for you!!

    God Bless.

    this man will not be there for u. move on. i know its hard while u are sick. but a good man wouldnt do those things. u will find the right person for you who will be there for you and help u. if this man had really cared he would have been there everyday, not just one day. focus on you. let ur friends and family help u and be there for you. just fight and get better. u need every ounce of energy on you. not a life sucking jerk like that. be strong. and i will pray for a cure. my thoughts will be with you.

    Don't get mad..  Get even.  Get a lawyer.  You might be able to sue her for mental anguish.  I can't imagine a single jury that would not side with you, especially fighting cancer.  50,000 dollars for mental anguish and damages will wipe that smirk right off her face.

    That is one of the worst thing I have ever read, what a truely disgusting human being. He, the man who is supposed to love and care for you no matter what, the person who is supposed to be your rock, your confidant does this to you!? I could not even do that to a person I did not know!

    He cannot love you, CANNOT! and you should leave that ****** NOW, make the best out of the time you have! He does not deserve you (or any woman for that matter) and that other woman .. wow I did not know such horrible people existed! Bullying a cancer patient about her hair loss? I am so horrified and angry from reading this I cannot even!!!!!!

    I wish you all the best and remember there are PLENTY of good men out there who will stand by their wifes side no matter what, and I am sure your soulmate is waiting for you somewhere (and ready to beat up that **** and his nasty whore) UGH!
