If you’re already seeing this article in full, congrats - you’re already on our guest list!My best friend has stage four breast cancer and is nearing the end of her life. Things have been really tough for her and everyone who loves her for the past few years since her diagnosis.
I realise that people will probably think I’m a b***h and that he’s scum, but it really isn’t like that. Obviously, we aren’t going to run off together whilst she’s still alive, but I can see us having a future together once a few months have passed. My question is: Do you think that his feelings for me will change after she goes? I’m willing to wait for him but I worry that her death will be a turning point.
Below the surface, whilst this is still a huge betrayal, it is one that is very understandable from a psychological perspective. Cancer and terminal illness don’t just affect the person who is unwell, it is a huge deal for everyone close to them. You have bonded over the trauma. You’ve offered each other solidarity and support and feelings have grown unexpectedly.
