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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 that I have at least stage 3 cancer. I went on my insurance's website to get information for the doctors. I also saw "Other people who have been on your plan." My ex-wife was listed, with a new last name. She got remarried. I'm just going to let the cancer take me at this point. FML
Today, as I'm terminally ill and have less than a year to live, I told my wife that she could see other men so long as she continued to care for me until I passed. She clapped and cheered. FML
Today, my wife announced that she wanted a divorce. She'd actually started dating another man a few months ago, but she wanted to drag our marriage out as long as possible just in case her new relationship fell through. FML
Today, my husband was diagnosed with cancer, but that's not the worst part. He immediately told me he wanted a divorce afterwards. He insists that he's doing it for me. FML

Today, my wife said she wants a divorce. Three days ago, I added her onto the title to my house, my bank accounts, and my business. FML
Today, because of my wife’s inability to keep her nasty opinions to herself, the last of our children told us via text that they won’t be visiting anymore, or letting us see our grandchildren. So now it’s just me and her, financially trapped in this marriage until one of us dies of old age. FML
Today, my wife told me that she wanted a divorce. It is also my 39th birthday today. For my birthday present, she gave me a subscription to match.com. 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.
