I should’ve never stayed.
Years ago I met this guy. We hit it off. Well turns out I was one of many. The main one left him and he stayed with me. Well I was just the new main one with multiple others in the background. Some knew about me, others didn’t. This last year he was diagnosed with liver cancer. He had the surgery done and I found out he had never stopped with the multiple other background people. I was going to leave. But I told myself I’d stay until he had recovered. The last 8 months have been rocky with his health, but he’s basically better. He had told me when he had almost died from sepsis and a collapsed lung that it made him realize he only wanted to be with me. Well I guess that wasn’t true. After he got home even while not fully recovered he was still finding new back ground people to be with. All while I took care of the bills and made sure he was doing okay. Now I’m on the verge of just saying goodbye to everyone in my life and leaving this world. But I feel so dumb even thinking of that as an option.
