Dear @LisaO
It’s hard to deal with one thing after another. Hard for you and hard for those who care about you too. Cancer, any life threatening illness, trauma and loss can stir up issues and difficulties that we may neither be prepared for nor really aware of. But whether it’s cancer and treatment that’s caused the current difficulty or a myriad of little things with cancer on top, it’s your relationship you want to sort out, not cancer. Men who find talking difficult (there’s a lot of it around) adds to the need for some professional help. Identifying what you need is important. At a very difficult time in her life, my daughter sought help. What she got was help to deal with the problems her partner was going through. What she finally realised was that what she needed was help for what she was going through. Make it clear it’s about your relationship, which you value and want to improve, not all about cancer. Cancer gets quite enough of our attention! There are other things in life. Best wishes.!
