Oh, Sean. I know it's hard to hear and believe this right now, but you are *not* a failure, and you are *not* a bad guy for realizing that you've given everything you could give to this relationship. I think the world of you for trying as hard as you have. I hope things get better for you once you move out and get a little distance. Take care of yourself. *hugs*
I completely understand why you feel bad about leaving her while she's sick, but it sounds like it's ultimately better for her. She needs someone who can provide for her emotionally in addition to the practical aspects of caring for her. And it's not your fault. Like you said, you're just too different. That's just who you are and who she is. I'm sorry it's so hard for both of you. *hugs*
She won't go through treatment well if she's dealing with someone whose affection is being warped with every twist and turn of the medical road. It's too damned hard a road to travel with guilt hitching along.

Yes, breaking up is hard.
On the other hand, in this case, it's the right thing.
I'm sorry that you're both hurting, and hope that you both get through this OK.
