I totally understand how you are feeling. I'm lying in bed in tears feeling heartless because I have just ended it with my partner of 13 years. He has severe copd and is dying. I'm 46 and he is 45. I can't cope anymore and I feel like I'm dying inside. I'm so unhappy and just don't know what to do anymore. My partner is on oxygen 24 7, he is incontinent, has depression, panic attacks and suffers depression. He is moody with me and our 12 year old son most of the time. If he's not moody he moans about everything. He constantly tells me he wishes he was dead. We don't even have a normal conversation anymore, he just wants to talk about himself and his illness all the time. We have not had sex for over 2 years. We don't cuddle or kiss. There is no affection at all. I'm fed up of our son living like this also. He is waiting for appointment with mental health as he is not coping with his life at moment either. I'm aware that we could be affecting our sons mental state. So I am now worried sick about my son too. I just want a normal and happy life for my son and myself. I don't know if I have done right thing ending our relationship but I don't love my partner anymore. Have I done wrong thing, should I just stay together and try and get on with things as best as I can?
