Well they were dating, not married. How much commitment does she actually owe? And who's to say how long he'll live? You say it's a short while but it could end up being years. Not to mention she is still experiencing mental/emotional trauma by watching someone she cares about dying in front of her. It's not nearly as simple nor easy as you seem to think.

not married, at least stick around for support then whatever happens you make that decision after. Not during. Its quite simple - youre able to make that decision but be prepared for the consequences.

But commitments happen when you agree to be in a relationship. Obviously marriage is a promise and vow, but if I was serious for two years with a partner and everything was great UNTIL they got sick and I decided to bounce then I cant complain if people call me out.

if he makes a recovery you tell him - hey while you were going through this ordeal, it took a huge toll on me and I dont believe Im the right person to be your partner in case it happens again.

Boom, done. You dont look like an asshole and you still supported your partner in a time of need.

and I said short while within the context of the guy in the story had stage 4 brain cancer which its a live or die scenario where many people dont live.

and unfortunately sickness and death is a part of everyones life. This woman couldnt handle the mental stress of being with someone who was dealing with cancer. I hope she stays single forever cause she admitted all she needs to about her potential commitment abilities.
