[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in a new relationship with a great guy for the past 5 months. We're both 40's, divorced, with kids. He's been divorced for less than a year, and his ex just told him that she has cancer, and will need radiation and chemo for 2 months this summer.

He is obviously going to jump in 100% and take care of the kids, support his ex physically/emotionally through chemo, be her friend, and do whatever he needs to do.

I am wondering how best to handle this gracefully- should I step back and tell him we should take that time apart so he can focus on that? Or just continue and offer my full support and care for him, as the caregiver?

Any tips on navigating this are appreciated![/quote]

Op think about yourself and your well being. I wasn’t entirely in your shoes but my dh’s mom was sick with terminal illness and I stuck with him through the ride. It will take almost everything out of you and him. I wouldn’t if I were you and move on if you are trying to accomplish career related goals or other important goals in your life. Im sorry you 5 month relationship is not worth this imo. [/quote]
