He never cares when I am not well. Finally I divorced him and found another man. This man is 16 years older than me. In this relationship I'm finanically independant, I'm not rich but manage to get by and I enjoy it. This man is wealthy but never helps with money to make my life a bit better. We've been together for 3 years now. We live in separate homes. Friends say I should leave him as he is only looking after his own interests. As he is getting older he is having some health problems. Do I have the obligation to look after him in this relationship? Please advise.

 Of course it's not an obligation of yours, in case you're not feeling up for it don't do it, even if it means breaking up - a wealthy person like him will surely be able to pay someone to help him out anyway.

 Seems like money matter more to you then the actual relationship, not trying to be mean but that is my observation from your short post.
If you are dating someone and they get sick, should you (in general) take care of them? Well, if he is financially independent the money side is taken care of, the rest, the actual physical care, well as I see it if there is someone you LOVE you will do this.
Maybe you should start dating younger guys?
