Resolved Question

Would you romantically get involved with someone knowing that this person is chronically ill?

When a member of my family divorced her husband after his diagnosis of diabete, I told to my self that I would stay with the person "in sickness and in health". Now almost twenty years later, I may think differently. What's your take on this question?

Yes I would. I see people for what they are and not for any illness they have, if they happen to have one!

A brief love affair is better then no love affair at all!

sometimesI	Posted Oct 20th, 2009 at 8:07PM It all depends on how much love is there. If the love is entirely there the thought wouldn't even cross the mind, you'd automatically know what the outcome would be , But who am I to judge ?

forgottenangel	Posted Oct 20th, 2009 at 8:08PM I think if you really love that person then you would want to take care of them, and have that final time with them, I know that if i was with the man i was in-love with and he was gonna die in 6-months to years i would need all that time with him...I'd stay....

unicorn59	Posted Oct 20th, 2009 at 8:01PM I married my current husband, with the knowledge he was chronically ill....I fell in love with him, and he told me about his conditions, so, it didn't matter to me... I'm divorcing him....not because he has medical conditions, that have been there, since birth....but, rather, because those medical conditions do not excuse him being abusive. Rated: +1Vote for this!
justicia	Posted Oct 20th, 2009 at 7:55PM It depends. If you are already married it is part of what you deal with. That's love.... Unless one of the spouses did something wrong and caused a divorce. On the other hand, if single and the other person told me of their illness, i don't think I would want to take the relationship further. I couldn't take the pain of losing someone, but I would remain friends with them. Rated: +1Vote for this!
