Finding out a loved one may soon be taken from you and then crying is selfish?

What?

OP, he is upset because a loved one might die soon. How is that selfish? He wishes it was him dealing with the problem and not her.

Wow. OP is a -blam!- idiot.

There's a difference between being legitimately upset for a love one and using it for a source of pity and attention.

Yes, very well, i understand. However, emotions are notoriously difficult to control. I know from experience the stupid things can get in the way at the worst of times.

It seems like he's crying because he feels bad for himself. All like "O woe is me, for I'm the husband of a cancer patient!" He ought to be, like you said, staying positive and helping his wife do the same.


This answers what you're clearly not understanding, and btw people, not understanding the emotion of empathy does not make anyone an idiot. It just means i have a small case of Psychopathy in this situation, which i have no doubt i do possess.

Yes, but the earth-shattering truth that you people seem to not get is that the man does not have Cancer. His wife does, does it make any sense for him to be crying and seeking attention from someone else, namely a therapist, when is wife is the one going through the disease, and should be getting that professional help herself.

You can't control emotions though lol. If someone I loved had it, I would be extremely upset. I wouldn't use it for pity, like some people would, but I'd definitely be devastated. I don't understand how that would be considered "selfish", you just don't want someone you care for to go through that. I'm sure my parents would feel the same if something like that had happened to me.

His wife has a potentially terminal illness and he is upset by that. If you can't empathize with that, here's hoping you never get married.

OP, have you ever been told that a sibling, or a parent, has cancer?

Grandmother smoked and ended up getting Lung Cancer, except the women abused me and treated me like -blam!-, so guess what, i didn't exactly care too much when she passed away. Hope i answered your question.

It's not like people have total control over themselves when the person they've loved for most of their life is possibly going to die, OP.

Exactly, thank you for actually getting what i'm saying.


Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they don't get what you're saying... I completely understand your point but I personally disagree to extent. I'm pretty sure most people here got the simple concept.

Then, honestly, you cannot currently understand the emotions & feelings running through that guys head. He's picturing his wife wasting away, her hair falling out, her lying on a hospital bed for weeks on end with tubes pumping chemicals in and out of her, he's picturing her keeled over a toilet sicking up every last little piece of food she's eaten in the last week, he's picturing having to tell his friends or kids that his wife/their mom might/will die in the very near future, he's picturing the fact that she will never be the same (even if the treatment's successful), he's worrying about whether he can pay for it all, he's afraid of what will happen if she dies.

Honestly, OP, you (and nobody else) can truly understand what these people go through unless you lose somebody to/have had experience with somebody going through such a -blam!- horrible disease.

I think the husband meant that he wished he was the one suffering not his wife.

I understand what you are saying, but I disagree with it. Were anything to happen to Mrs Charlie, I would be wrecked. I would do my best to be strong for her, but I don't know if I could be as strong as necessary. I used to think I was, then we had that minor stint in the ER after her surgery, and I don't know. I stayed up all night holding her hand, not because that was needed from me, but because I was scared of losing her.

  • 01.07.2013 3:50 PM PDT

Blind luck always prevails.

Although I agree that the husband should be positive to try and help his wife, I imagine his wife might be even more upset if her husband didn't seem bothered that she was seriously ill.

I definitely wouldn't describe it as selfish.

Oh I get it. You're an attention seeker.

Well when the person you love could possibly die due to cancer people tend to cry. Its not selfish at all, but they should try to hold there feelings in.

For stating something most likely true? Would you rather i go and commit serial killings than rationally admit and accept that until further medical studies are done, that i believe i have this disorder?

I doubt it. You can't properly empathise with a situation you've never been even close to experiencing yourself. Nothing wrong with that.

Come back in 10-15 years when one or both of your parents are dead & say the same, then I'll believe you.

You don't know how hard that is to do OP. you're just talking about stuff you don't know about
