My wife of 11 years is dying of cancer. Before she was diagnosed we were in the process of separating. She suffers from severe depression, and needless to say our love life disappeared when she started antidepressants. Regardless of what I tried to spark the relationship, she just turned me down - to the point I got tired of it and stopped asking. She's 49 and I'm 33 - that also has some factor in the matter as well as at this point in my life, I'm ready for kids. The Cancer has spread and is incurable, so it's a matter of time before she does die from it, but it could be several years. I told her that I would stay and see her through this journey. I feel I owe her that at least – we’re still close – like best friends.
I think I'm at the point that I want to start dating again. I have had a couple of women approach me and express interest. They know the details of my wife's situation, and my unhappiness. Do I tell my wife I'm seeing others, or go behind her back?
