Partners whose Partner has breast cancer

My girlfriend was diagnosed with breast cancer in August, had a bilateral mastectomy, and just started chemo last week.  So far everything, as far as her treatment goes, has been going very well and outlook is positive.  I was wondering where I can find advice and/or a support group for "partners and spouses whose partners are undergoing breast cancer treament" in Connecticut?  Amongst my searching and the breast care center that i attend with my girlfriend for her treatment, I'm not really finding much of a network specifically for this. 

I do everything for my girlfriend; take time off work to take her to her appointments, pay for just about everything with the little money I have, if I don't spend the night I'm by her side til she falls asleep, I make sure to communicate positive things, I am always there in every way and am that "rock" for her, etc... yet I am constantly chewed out and insulted and her irrational behavior is really starting to break me... I'm having a difficult time and I don't show it to anyone cuz like I said "i am that rock for her".  Any leads or help for me to talk to anyone in similar situation as myself would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Sincerely,

Matt
