My partner has cancer but I want to leave him

DEAR DEIDRE: HOW can I leave my partner after he has been diagnosed with cancer?

I’m 65, he’s 70 and we’ve been together for five years.

I’d been planning to leave because we bicker non-stop when he was suddenly diagnosed with cancer.

He is now in remission but we’re both desperately unhappy being together.

Now I feel obliged to stay despite it meaning I’d be committed to a life of misery.

How can I end this relationship peacefully?
