I need some advice

I recently started seeing this girl, who has been one of my best friends for over 5 years. It just kind of grew that way, I guess. But pretty much since the beginning of the situation I’ve had some doubts, and they still haven’t gone away. Now I was working abroad a month ago, and I got the news that she was in the hospital, and it was serious. So I came back, and now she’s been diagnosed with a nasty disease that can’t be cured, and promises to be long and grueling. I’m taking care of her in the best way possible (not to brag but I’m good at this) but now she’s cutting off a lot of her friends and her job as well. She seems to be putting her eggs in my basket, which leaves me with a real big pressure, and I am in no way sure that I am actually in love. It seems a delicate situation, and it’s hard for me to see whether I’m running from the illness or from a relationship I’m not comfortable with. But every so often I find myself running like hell.
On a personal note (and maybe slightly weird…), I haven’t had a single orgasm during sex since we started seeing each other. I find this very alarming, and since she was my first I can’t compare nothing at all (even though it’s pretty good sex).
I’ld love to see someone else’s perception on this. Seeing as how we have the same circle of close friends, it’s not easy to find somebody objective to talk to..

Sounds difficult... I know how hard it is, someone unwell depending on you, and you can't really say/do anything because a cloud of guilt will appear...
I don't know if the sex is important, but even you aren't sure it's love. Leaving her when she's essentially made it so there's no one else would be hard, on both of you.
Talk to her? As difficult as it sounds, if you just leave her do this and let all the pressure fall on you, it's going to get worse for you, and harder to leave.
Maybe you don't need to leave her; it just seems what's best for you since that's such a heavy burden for a single person. Is there anyone else she can depend on? Family, friends? Talk to her friends, see can they take care of her for once, just so you can have a break, see how she takes it.

Sex is a very difficult thing to analyze in such a short forum. Make an account. We've got some great groups out there.
