Dating with a disability


 Life is full of surprises!



 
Recently I have become single again. My last girlfriend was pretty understanding about Multiple Sclerosis. The thought occurs to me, that I may find it difficult to find another person who is understanding about M.S. I mean let's face it. Who wants to get involved with someone who periodically may be in a wheelchair, or may end up in a wheelchair for life? Day to day life in uncertain. You never know what will happen from one day to the next, for someone with M.S. It could even be an hourly change. How does one go about disclosing that he or she has MS when they are looking for a potential life partner. I wouldn't want to get three dates into a relationship and drop that kind of a bomb shell, but I seriously wonder if this won't hamper my ability to form a relationship in the future.

It takes a very understanding person to date someone with an invisible illness. How ever that being said, I am stronger than most people. My ability to accept and understand change is huge. What do you think, would you date someone with a chronic illness. Should I be concerned?

  1. You will find the right person who accepts you for who you are, not what you are, a good-hearted person sees you for your present self. As you know, there are many "abilities" in disabilities. Depths of love are endless, acceptance is only with whom you allow your true self to be given, as cliche as it may sound, love is blind.

    Love you buddy
