I have been dating this girl for years and a few years back she began to grow extremely distant, which was strange considering we would text and call eachother very often just to enjoy each other's company. Then finally she broke down and told me she had cancer. A rare form of brain cancer that had a very small chance of survival. I assured her I would stay by her side no matter what and for about 2 years we continued being together.
This woman was the one I wanted to be with and I wasn't going to let anything come between us, even the cancer she was fighting. I stayed with her through chemo and everything. But later on she started being distant again and was pushing me away. Eventually she admitted she didn't want to break my heart when she inevitably passed away. And maybe a month later broke up with me.
We have stayed in contact since then but have been very touch and go over recent year. I still love her with all my heart but I don't think she wants me to watch her suffer. But I also don't want to have her go through this alone. So my major dilemma is should I just let her be and try to keep in contact when she decides or should I keep trying to let her know my feelings on the topic? I'm just at a loss for what to do and I would do anything for this woman. Any advice is welcome.
TL:DR I (24M) and deeply in love with a woman (23F) and found out she has cancer. Should I fight to stay with her or accept her wishes of leaving her?
