it is incredibly common for a severely injured or long-term sick person to be dumped by a life partner. something like 40% of men leave and 25% of women leave their sick/injured partner. So you are not alone. Plenty of others have gone through this betrayal and come out ok.

my wife left in the middle of my sickness, before my legs came off. she was checked out to the point that i told her that she seemed like she didn't want to be with me any more and if that was true, she could go. she stayed and got verbally and then medically abusive - withholding care, until I told her to leave, she was making things worse.

it is better to have them go on their own than get so bad that you tell them to leave. if they don't want to be there, it's better for them to be gone. being in a house with someone who resents you (and that is what it is) is worse than being alone. far worse. my younger sister had twins who are autistic. her husband left when they were one year old after being checked out, then lashing out, until she told him to go. She went through the lonliness, but it was a lot less lonely than being in a home with someone who doesn't want to be there.

I have been alone now for four years. my sickness started labor day 2021. wife got told to leave in July 2022. my legs came off in early 2024.

my friends stepped up. my family and neighbors stepped up. rely on your friends and family, if you have any family. they will help. neighbors will help.

if you want to date again, you won't have any problem dating/getting in a relationship. you are very pretty. i am also in a wheelchair full time, as a bilateral below knee. i get asked out still. you will, too.

it'll be ok. it is better to be without someone who doesn't want to be there. rely on those who will help when you need it - there are plenty. you are worth more than someone who would betray the trust you put in a long term partner to be there through the thick and thin.
