Get me away from here, I'm dying

Today, my wife filed for divorce. Last month, she was diagnosed with stage 4, terminal, inoperable cancer. We got a second (confirmed) opinion. She has maybe six months left. She told me she doesn't want to spend her last remaining days on this earth with me. Our 33rd anniversary was in May. FML

Today, my wife asked for a divorce. Apparently, me being forced to work on her birthday and our anniversary 3 years in a row is the absolute limit she’s willing to put up with. FML

Today, I found out I have aggressive brain cancer, then my girlfriend dumped me because, as she put it, if I’m going to be dead in a year anyway, she might as well move on now so as not to waste her time. I knew she was evil, it’s what I loved about her, but man, this is low even for her. FML

Today, I asked my wife for a divorce, after I tried everything to save our marriage, and it was a gut-wrenching decision. I tried easing her into it, but she instantly agreed. She had packing boxed ready to move out. Now I suspect she was sabotaging our marriage for months so I'd call it quits. FML

I had a similar thing happen to a friend. The partner didn't want their wife to watch them wither and die. He moved out and wouldn't see them. It was awful, but at the same time I could see why. it may be a similar thing.

It sounds like she is trying to push you away because she doesn't want you to have to watch her go through this. Either that or she was just really unhappy in your marriage and wants to experience some happiness before she goes. I'd assume the former though due to 33 years and you sounding like you genuinely care about her. I'm sorry you're going through this. Watching people you care about go through the final stages of cancer is extremely hard on every party involved.

I’m so sorry. My stepfather just passed away from cancer. My guess is also that your wife is pushing you away so either you don’t have to watch her decline, or she’s just responding to the situation by wanting to be alone. People cope with the death process in all kinds of ways. It doesn’t make it any easier for you, cancer is harder for family members than the people going through it sometimes. I wish you well through this difficult time.
