I’m totally going to get flagged for this, but it needs to be said: as someone who lost their father to Stage IV cancer a few years ago, I understand where your boyfriend is coming from and I support that he wants to help his family and spend as much time with them as he can before a potential disruption occurs. I don’t think you fully comprehend how hard and life-changing this is. Perhaps take some time to understand it, rather than bemoaning your own inconvenience.

The fact that you are secretly wishing his father would pass sooner tells me you two should not be together. That is not the mindset of someone who is in love. Of someone who is supportive. Of someone who is understanding. That is the mindset of someone who is selfish.

Your boyfriend has known you for just over a year.

His father has been there for life.

You really need to look at the bigger picture.
