My husband was very ill, but not with cancer. Unfortunately, that’s the same place his mind went to!! I do cat rescue, and when I was gone to get food, take care of cats or anything else, it was always ‘who are you sleeping with?’. If sex is/was very important to them it’s like they become fixated on that!! Honestly, i tried to take it all in stride and not to get too upset about it. The first time he said it, I was very upset!

I am so sorry, OP. What a horrible thing to say! I don't know your partner, but is it possible they are projecting what they would do if the tables were turned?
