My boyfriend and I have been together for two years now. We've always had a really good relationship and I really have always loved him with all of my heart. A few months ago we found out that an illness he had been struggling about it terminal, giving him less than a year to live. This was probably the hardest thing either of us had ever heard, but I promised to stick by him no matter what, and to love him as hard as I could regardless.
Two weeks ago, he went back home to visit his family and in his words "tie up some loose ends." I offered to go with him to support him, but he insisted that he needed to go alone. We both grew up in this town, so I still have a lot of friends there. I got a call from an old friend of mine and she told me she saw him with his ex. I didn't think anything of it because given the circumstances, obviously you might have a lot to say to someone in that situation.
When he got back, I asked him how his trip went and he told me everything, but never mentioned her. I thought this was a little suspicious and when I asked him about it, he denied it. I pressed him further until he admitted to not only meeting up with her, but sleeping with her too.
I packed my things and left immediately. I'm staying at a hotel now, and I don't know what to do. I'm hurt beyond belief and want nothing to do with him. At the same time, he's texting me telling me that I have to forgive him because he doesn't have time for me to be upset, and I should just want him to be happy and I'm being selfish. I feel guilty, hurt, confused, and so incredibly lost. Am I wrong for being hurt? Should I just suck it up?
TL;DR: Boyfriend is dying and cheated on me, I don't know what to do
