My (29M) girlfriend (27F) of 5 years just got over cancer. I supported her through it entirely, worked remotely and passed up some opportunities to support her and take care of her. She just asked for space and I haven’t heard from her in 6 weeks

My (29M) girlfriend (27F) of 5 years just got over cancer. I supported her through it entirely, worked remotely and passed up some opportunities to support her and take care of her. She just asked for space and I haven’t heard from her in 6 weeks and I haven’t reached out because I wanted to respect her request. Now she’s deleted all pictures of us with lovey-dovey captions on social media. She had said she still loves me she just doesn’t know what she wants and needs to find what makes her happy. But it feels like she’s just discarded me in the easiest way possible. Obviously we had Covid lockdowns and then were locked down with cancer so it had been a while since we had real fun but we used to have a lot and be really strong.

I care about her a lot, or I wouldn’t have stuck by her obviously, but this feels terrible. We had moved to a new state right before Covid and the only friend she has really that isn’t also a friend of mine is a toxic coworker who just went through a really rough breakup. I am sitting here because I feel like I got no closure, so do I move on, do I work on myself and assume she will reach out? Any advice would be great.

From the comments section

fukk her my man,

I dated a girl once who was in a car accident bed ridden. I helped her in every way. Physical therapy, helped her in and out the shower, helped her use the bathroom and cleaned up after. We’d smoke weed jam out to music and watch comedy shows. Very few of her friends ever visited her. I was there everyday. When she was finally walking she gave me a speech about how she got a second chance at life and she doesn’t feel beautiful around me because we met and I helped her use the bathroom. Everyone ahead of time said she was out of my league this would happen, tho she said she will always love me she couldn’t be with me.

6weeks and ghosted, deleted pictures. fukk my man I’m sorry. Move on just remember be a good person don’t change don’t let her win. The next person might appreciate the you, you are.

I could see how after that. The romance angle is kinda gone. As you're basically a nurse. And you'd rather not see the person who saw you at your very lowest around you.

But have some damn decency and end things.

Personally, I would have moved on. Got a low tolerance for disrespectful behavior. I understand battling cancer and wanting space.

Just would prefer some clarity on the status of the relationship. Some people don't get down like that, so the only thing to do is charge the relationship to the game, keep pushing and don't look back.

Maybe the so called BF will figure it out and move accordingly..

*shrugs*

Women's dating practices are ruthless

In his mind hes being a good partner by dropping everything for her
In her mind hes pathetic loser with no options

Guarantee if he got with a hot healthy bytch she woulda come out of that cancer desperate to compete for him

If this kinda situation popped up in my own life, (god forbid not)

I'd have to think long and hard as to whether I'd stick around

Especially if we are not married.
