My Boyfriend’s Ex Is Dying, and I Can’t Handle Her Final Wish

Navigating the complexities of past relationships is never easy, and my current situation has left me feeling torn. After a year of dating my boyfriend, we received the heartbreaking news that his ex-girlfriend is terminally ill, with doctors indicating she has little time left. Recently, she called him, confessing her enduring love and expressing a desire for his presence during her final days. He was understandably shocked and unsure of how to respond.

We decided to visit her together, hoping to offer support. However, upon entering her hospital room, it was clear she was displeased by my presence. Despite bringing her food and expressing my sympathy, she frowned and said, “Why are you here? I don’t even know you.” Feeling uncomfortable, I chose to leave them alone for a while. Later, I told my boyfriend that this should be his last visit with her, and he agreed.

Since then, she has been calling him every night, crying and professing her love. I’m caught in a whirlwind of emotions—part of me is uncomfortable with her actions, yet I also feel deep sympathy for her situation. Balancing compassion for her condition with the boundaries of our relationship has become a challenge for me. What should I do now?
