Thats a hard reality to face. My heart goes out to you both.

Yeah it is a hard pill to swallow. I pray it doesn’t start affecting him until he’s really old.

Oh goodness, so sorry to hear that. Just reading up on it, it seems it's not so fast so he will probably have many healthy years ahead.

That's horrible, fetcher :(

What do you think, mb? Am I being pitied? Or does my boss want this p?

I'd agree with most here. I think she's just doing what she can because she feels for what you've been through, as I think most people would. Who can hear your story and not feel affected by it and want to do what they can to make you feel better?

So sorry to hear this, but as Adidass says, hopefully it will be a long time manifesting itself. I'm not entirely sure why you think you can't cry in front of him; have you to be the strong one always? Maybe he wants you to cry, and if you don't perhaps he might wonder if you understand/if it matters to you, which of course you do and it does, but I think maybe it's better to face it together than one or both of you trying to tough it out, which will actually avail nothing. Maybe he wants to cry too but feels he can't in front of you. Maybe you should consider crying together?

Thanks everyone, it has been in the pipeline for a while and we knew it was always going to be a possibility.

I don’t know TH, I just felt like I shouldn’t have a reason to cry or be upset because it’s not my diagnosis. Which I know is stupid. We are both pretty strong but felt like I had to try and hold myself together for him.

Nah, it just sounds like she got to know you a little bit.

Well of course I don't know, but let's say your mother or father was diagnosed with cancer, or your bf was. Wouldn't you cry then? Wouldn't they sort of want you to? I dunno, could be well off the beam here (and if I am I do apologise) but is an emotional reaction better than it looking like you're ignoring it or downplaying it? Do you think he's waiting for you to say something, or (you know him best of course) does he prefer you to be strong/aloof from it? Maybe talking about it makes it too real, too possible?

Hell, what do I know? Have a kitten. Best I can do.

I know, it is only natural to be upset. We have spoke about it a few times and it’s come in to our conversation but each time it does I start crying and I can’t stop lol. I have a funeral today as well and I really can’t be arsed leaving the house but it is one I need to go to.

Thank you for the kitten. If only :laughing:
