DEAR DEIDRE: I LET down my lover by choosing to stay with my long-term partner. Now he says he has cancer and it\u2019s due to the stress I have caused him.<\/p>\n
He is 53, I\u2019m 50 and we were together for just over a year.<\/p>\n
We met at the gym and soon started confiding in each other about our failing relationships.<\/p>\n
We would go for a drink after our workout and found solace in each other. The sex was intense and I really felt a strong connection to him.<\/p>\n
We spent months sneaking around, planning our lives together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But then my partner of 20 years, who is 54, really started making an effort with me. Previously I had felt completely neglected and overlooked by him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.<\/p>\n

He even took me away for a wonderful weekend and I began to remember all the good things about him, like his love of nature and his kindness.<\/p>\n
I knew on that weekend I would stay and make the most of the relationship.<\/p>\n
My decision did not go down well with my lover, but initially he said he respected it.<\/p>\n
That was until he started to harass me with text messages. He begged me to give him a second chance, and although I turned him down each time, the messages kept coming.<\/p>\n
I eventually blocked him and cut off contact. I hadn\u2019t heard from him for months until I got a phone call from an unknown number.<\/p>\n
It was him. He told me he\u2019d been diagnosed with cancer and it was all my fault. He said the stress I\u2019d caused him had impacted his health.<\/p>\n
I know I\u2019m not to blame, but I feel awful and can\u2019t stop thinking of it.<\/p>\n
