Hi Kari - It's very brave of you to share your innermost thoughts. I'm in a very happy long term marriage, 37years. Our marriage has been built on friendship as well as, a cornerstone I believe is vital in all relationships. We set out on life's journey and life has thrown some dreadful curve balls at us that we've endured.
I like Rowdy's advice that she received from a Counsellor, keep a diary. Writing things down, as you've done in this post, is therapeutic.
In your post you've said that he is a very caring person and you suspect he is struggling to deal with it. There is a building block for you "caring person".
It is only you that can decide what you want. Eventually you'll find your new normal. Don't put undue pressure on yourself when you're dealing with healing. As the saying goes take a deep breath, look at where you've come from for a moment or two but concentrate on the now. The now is your most important to deal with. You're still in the middle of the BC battle. The future will be here before you know it.
Sending you a virtual hug, take care
