I57f was married to my husband for 27 years. We split up 6 years ago due to him seeing a younger woman, and also cheating on me countless of times during our marriage. We have 3 adult children together and grandchildren.

I hadn’t heard from him in the last year and a half, and a few days I got a call. He told me he only had a few weeks left, cancer, and asked if I would come see him. He said he was afraid to die alone and had always hoped he’d be next to me as he went. I said I’d think about it, but I knew in my mind I wouldn’t. I guess my ex husband told my kids he had asked and they asked me if I was going to go, which I had said no I didn’t think I was.

They were super distraught about it, and angry, and continued to tell me how he had no one except us, and that I’d be horrible if I didn’t go see him. That yes he cheated, but I shouldn’t let him die alone and scared and that I was being immature and petty about such a big thing.

It is true, he has no family except for our children, and I. I do feel badly for him. But we’ve been divorced awhile now. Witba if I decided not too?
