Should I give my ex-husband another chance after he left during chemo?
Community Member
15 days agoBeen battling Hodgkin’s lymphoma for about 3 years now. In the beginning my husband and I would always argue which led to him leaving me after I found out he would be texting other women while I was hooked up receiving chemo too. My hair fell out because of chemo and I knew it wasn’t sexy. Months go by and my hair regrew and my husband has been trying to get back with me. Then I relapsed and had to get stem cell surgery and my hair fell out again. But he’s trying to be there for me this time around. Problem is It’s hard because I don’t trust him anymore and I know he doesn’t care about my cancer. We have a son so we coparent really good but he wants another chance. Am I wrong for not wanting him back?

7 days agoNo, you are not wrong, I went through the same thing, since I got sick, she left, that shows the truth side of them they really don’t care, they have other motives

a day agoIt’s nice too have options for my wife passed 3 months and 3 days prior to my diagnosis and now I’m in my 4th round of chemo it really makes everything harder with a broken heart. My depression is more of her loss than my condition. It’s become that I really don’t care anymore about myself.

a day agoMichael, that breaks my heart. Care about yourself like she cared about you. Do it to honor her.

3 hours agoMichael sorry to hear of your loss. You are here for a purpose which you will eventually realize. Take courage in your faith and such will bring clarity. Going through grief is not easy especially during the holiday. Hope your chemo is going well and be there for yourself and those who still depend on you. Think of all the good and funny times and smile. Each day at a time. Life is precious . Enjoy 😘.

3 hours ago no you were most definitely not wrong, you cannot trust this man, anyone who will leave you at your darkest hour it’s not a good person, my wife done the same thing, after 23 years, I would never take her back, I would never even consider it!
