Partner Issues

Hi there everyone. I’m really struggling at the moment. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 IDC and had to have a unilateral mastectomy, chemo and radiation . Unfortunately my partner of  7 years was unable to cope with the physical changes and never wanted to see me naked after the operation. He wasn’t very sensitive about saying “no” to my offer  either. He recently cheated and we broke up. I feel very alone but determined not to date again until I’m ready - if ever. Has anyone else experienced similar ? I think I am on grief and feeling very disillusioned.

    Hi MillyMolly,  Even though I haven't had a similar experience to yourself I just wanted to reply so that you know you have a whole community here to support you.  My 2 cents worth -  I think you are wise to take your time and process everything you have been through both on the health front and the relationship front.  Sending you good vibes and hoping better times are ahead for you.
