Is it okay for me to break up with my girlfriend if I found out she has a terminal cancer and will die in 2 yr?

She has cancer so I know our relationship can't last. How do I let her go?Is it okay for me to break up with my girlfriend if I found out she has a terminal cancer and will die in 2 yr?
buy a life insurance policy on her before you dump her.....Is it okay for me to break up with my girlfriend if I found out she has a terminal cancer and will die in 2 yr?
No, in my opinion you should absolutely not break up with your GF if you found out she is going to die in 2 years from terminal cancer. If you break up with her it will break her heart and reveal how shallow you are. That could actually speed up her deterioration because it would make her feel like she's unloved and doesn't deserve to live. However, being with her, supporting her every step of the way and making it very clear you're not going to give up on her could give her the strength to defy the odds and live beyond 2 years. There are cases where people have miraculous recoveries or go into remission, and if you're by her side you increase the chances of her fighting that cancer with every breath in her body and not giving up because she knows she is deeply loved, no matter what happens.





One possibility to consider is to get her pregnant. If she's not too weak already, that is. If she has a baby in 9 months or so then at least she will have left a legacy behind, even if that child would grow up without a mother. But that's only if she wants a child too and is willing to leave something of herself behind.





If people that got married had your attitude of ';I know our relationship can't last'; then no one would get married. Think about it. EVERYONE dies. It's inevitable. It's a part of life. Only in the realm of fantasy does anyone live on forever. So would it be fair for me to say ';Oh, my girlfriend has terminal aging and will die in 60 years. I know our relationship can't last (because she'll eventually die of old age or some disease associated with old age). How do I let her go?';





The point I'm trying to make is to make very second, every moment, count with this woman if you truly care about her and ever truly loved her. Whether it's 60 years or 2 years, the time we spend with the people we love is precious and should be used to the best effect. Like the one song I think by Nickelback says ';If today was your last day...'; or the other song by another artist with the lyrics ';We gotta live like we're dying'; we are all terminally ill...it's what we do with the time remaining that matters.





I really hope you stay with her. Good luck to you and her, even if 2 years is all you have with her.
This is a very difficult question that only you can think of. No one can tell you that you have to stick by her because at the end of the day Its not them that have to. You need to decide how much you love this girl. Do you want to treasure every moment that you have with her or do you think it's best to leave before you get too involved?


It may make things harder if you get closer and then lose her but you may regret not hanging on to every moment with her.


Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I hope everything works out for the best for you.


Think about your decision carefully and don't let people make you feel guilty. do what feels right.
If she just found out, it's going to be hard to tell her. Let her accept the idea that she is going to die and try to imagine it in her point of view. If you have to break up with her, try to be in her life. Help her as much as you can and be there for her. If you still love her and this is the only reason you're breaking up with her, I would consider still being with her. Or at least being in her life. I can't say it's bad to break up with her but ultimately it's your decision. Despite her condition, try to think. Do you love her or not? If you do, be in her life. Otherwise, when she accepts her condition and is in a good enough state have a nice long talk with her. Be as sensitive as possible and explain ur situation. She will be even more emotional than normal so be careful. Good luck
I can understand why you would think about leaving her, its ok to be scared but think about it, she is more scared, she only has two years to live and what could be worse that on top of that her boyfriend breaks up with her. Don't stay with her because of pity though, only stay if you love her.Anyway make these last two years count, do anything she wants and make sure she gets to do everything she ever wanted before she dies, treat her right and the most important thing is stay with her until the end.
I really don't think that it is a good idea to break up with her during this time in her life. She is going through a very tough time in her life and this will just make it worst. I think that you should just wait for the two years to be over because you can be the person who makes the rest of her life worth living.
Dude, be there for her. Don't be a douche and leave her just because of that!





Show her you actually care. If you leave her now, she might die earlier by getting a heart attack from stress or something.
By asking this question you create the impression of being a shallow, insensitive, callous waste of space. She is best rid of you to make the best of the 2 years she has left with somebody a damn sight more human.
No, you shouldn't break up with her b/c of the cancer. But you obviously want to so I guess you should.





';the relationship can't last';.......what, is your biological clock ticking or s/t?
get a life insurence policy on her first of all then hang out and wait for the money to roll in
