Liz,
I do not agree with one poster who states that Robin made his choices and now must suffer the consequences. No one suffering the effects of cancer treatment is in a good frame of mind to make any type of decisions and none should be punished if they make poor decisions.

With that said, I think you need to go to your husband. He must be very scared and lonely and he certainly needs someone to guide him. No one is saying that will be an easy thing to do, but that is the road of the caregiver. What he is doing is horribly difficult too, yet he has to do it. Him calling you and wanting to talk shows that he hasn't given up, in my opinion. He is far to young for that and I think it's just plain fear that is at the root of his issues. He needs someone to make him feel safe again. I'm pretty sure that someone is you!

I wish I could help you in someway but there are just to many miles between us. Can you refresh my memory as to why the two of you are living apart right now?

Liz, just take a deep breath and know that you will make the right decisions because you love your husband.
