HI @clouise a difficult situation, sounds like he was just very emotionally invested and didn't walk away initially when you asked as he felt strongly. I was also 5 months into a new relationship when I had my 2nd diagnosis, I too gave him the option to leave but he stayed and he's not perfect but he's stuck by me for 3yrs.
My first diagnosis my ex husband was upset as I wouldnt let him help me through it, he too became very vindictive and nasty but because of the hopelessness of the situation for him.
Hard to comment to be honest, not knowing what your relationship was like, yes in an ideal world men should respect what you want, but I do think it's more complex too sometimes.
Hoping things settle for you, Melinda xo
