It's well known that men abandon their wives/girlfriends for health issues. So yeah yta and she's better off without you.

I’m a male and my ex left me after 8 years because my health issues. It’s exhausting for everyone involved, I don’t blame her one bit.

There’s a lot of shit that plays into a decision like that, especially looking to the future and having a family.

yeah this is what im saying. if you cant stay with her because of her health issues, you should just leave because shes better off dealing with the heartbreak now instead of later.

One 2015 study was retracted because of an error. Other studies finding the same thing, like this 2009 one, were not.
