She's been hiding it from him and he just found out. They sit down to talk about it and he tells her: "he's there for her no matter what". She responds that she appreciates that he does, but it doesn't comfort her. And she knows that, that is what he wants. To comfort her. But she can't give him that. He asks her why she wouldn't tell him earlier. She thought that if she kept it to her self, their lives would never change. She didn't count on changing as much as she did.
This might sound silly but, this applies /so/ much to my situation, I started crying as I watched it. Of course in my situation she doesn't have lung cancer but she feels equally bad about our relationship. I never did anything wrong but still our relationship is falling apart. Could it be that she just doesn't want our relationship to change? and that is why she's keeping away from me?
