Boyfriend has split with me after his diagnosis of leaukemia

Hi everyone I don't know where to start with this. My boyfriend (ex) has split up with me 2 weeks ago. He got diagnosed last year with cancer and is really struggling with it all we both are. He's gone into a really dark place and he suffers with depression. He has said he no longer wants to be with me and he wants to be alone but he still loves me. I want to be there for him but he won't let me. He will not get help or speak to anyone about it and I'm so worried for his mental health. The way he is acting is not him and I'm at a loss as to what to do or say to him. I've told him I will always be here for him but he doesn't seem to want my help or anyone's help. Am I supposed to just give up on the man I love..... Has anyone been through this? Can I have some advise. I have told him to speak to a good or to get councelking he just doesn't want to talk about it. I don't think he's accepted his diagnosis. He is on watch and wait at the moment as there is nothing they can do untill it gets to a certain stage. He's only 36 and he could be on watch and wait for 20 plus years .... How can I get him to see that us splitting is not the solution. I'm so upset about all of this. 

  • All you can really do - it write to him explaining that you will be there if he needs you.

    When people have illness a whole range of emotions surface, including mental health,somtimes people push people they love away - in case they get hurt.

    It gonna be hard not to push him to make a decision, but it has to be his decision. Which has to be respected   

  • Thankyou for your reply. I'm just finding this so difficult. I feel so sad and upset for him but the thought of not seeing him is breaking my heart. I will respect his wishes but it's so hard.
