Divorce cancer ridden wife?
Okay, hypothetically, say you married a woman because she helped you out with something and you kinda felt obligated. Then she gets cancer and you meet the love of your life. You have an affair and your wife probably knows but you're not sure. Anyway you have to keep the marriage going because A) if you divorce her while she's still sick it's pretty bad considering she helped you and everything and B) She has better chances in the settlement if you leave her now. But while you fulfill your obligations as a husband, the love of your life gets angry with you and it could end with her. What the hell do you do? What if you leave your wife and then the love of your life leaves you later on. Should you just stay married until after the cancer?
Hypothetically, of course.

Wow, this sounds almost exactly like what happened to one of my former bosses.
She is your wife. For whatever reasons, you married her, and promised to stick with her, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, and all that jazz.
If this other woman were truly the "love of you life," then she would be willing to wait until the marriage is naturally dissolved - meaning, your wife loses her fight with cancer. She wouldn't be trying to take a married man away from his dying wife.

If she really is the love of your life, she will stop being angry and start helping u support your poor wife. Seriously think about this. Once your wife is gone you will feel very differently about "loves of life", dont load up wouldhave couldhave shouldhaves apon yourself now, youll have your own life time to regret it. If the "love" girl cant stand by you now and have compassion for a very sick woman then I say dump her selfish butt right now, concentrate on the wifes needs, and when that is resolved, see where youre at. Its all about the sick person now, not about the love life.

I think you need to stick with your wife. I believe if she was the love of your life... then she will wait. I know a women that stood by her "boyfriends" side why he was married to a women who spent 7 years in a coma. He couldn't leave her but once she woke up they did divorce and he was free to be with the "love of his life" but during those 7 years he lived up to his obligations to her.
