Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Well first I'm sorry that happened to him. The first thing that comes to my mind is selfish. Some folks aren't built to take that stuff on and when given a choice often don't take the high road. But relationships are complicated. The only good thing I can say is that if she had stuck around her love was probably not sincere and when you have gone through illness or tragedy you often detect this insincerity. There are lovely people who have more depth of character out there and your son in one of them. That's how you know there are more. Breaking up a engagement is really tough much less when you feel you've face enough. When I had lymphoma 5 years ago my husband of 14 years and I almost split ways. He had a very tough time being sensitive and I encounted some awful hostility. He was not taught how to deal with tough situations and hadn't learned from experience like I had. I'm still hurt over it but my husband and I got some therapy for awhile and he did a 360 with my CML diagnosis. (2007). My point is that illness does challenge relationships. I think new relationships already have such a set of challenges that it is too difficult to over come sometimes unless you both love each other and are very committed. When he does find the right person he will realize he was lucky he didn't waste is prescious time in an unhappy relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
