would you date someone who had a serious disease?
im not talking about a long term relationship that you've already been in
but if you started to see someone and they told you that they had some serious disease...lets just say cancer for instance...would that hold you back from the relationship? *this is just hypothetical* |

humm. well to be honest i dont know. I wouldnt stop seeing them if they had cancer, but it would make a relationship difficult.
I dont think I would want to be in a relationship with someone with cancer. NOT because they have cancer, but more so, that if I started to get really close with that person, it would be harder to let go or to not get seriously involved. No kissing?!? How would you be intamate? That would be hard if you started to really like the person wouldnt it? But honestly I dont know. For me that would be a question I could only say for sure if the moment was to arise. |

I would have been without a date/girlfriend for 3 yrs or so if that was the case.... It takes a strong person to deal with their SO being sick though so I'm guessing it's not for everyone. :) |

nope..
i've done it before, and i'd do it again. why let something like that hold you back from what could be a wonderful relationship? sure, it might not always be easy, but what relationship is.. disease or no disease? my ex bf was rather sick, but he told me from the beginning. i never knew how bad it all was until we got closer, but i never ran away from it. i held his hand, and did whatever i could to help him.. the same as he did for me in my low points. a disease shouldn't change a person... so why let it change your feelings? |

probably not... it all depends though. I really wouldnt want to get into a situation where I had really strong feelings for that person but then knowing they could pass away. Sounds shallow I know but I have already sort of been there, and I dont think I could handle that again.

I went out with a girl that had serious seizures. We were together for 4 years. They finally managed to find a medication that could control them though. It was hard. But I think in some wierd way it brought us closer. A person is a person, regardless of what shitty cards life has dealt them. However, I do have to put my foot down as far as incurable STD's go. I like sex to much, and noone is worth a lifetime of topical cream or the drips.

i probably would, because if it got to the point where i'm supposed to decide if we/i wanted a relationship, it'd be too late.
i'd have feelings for this girl and i know the last thing i'd want to do is to leave her to fend this disease by herself. but oh man. the mental damage i'd have would officially put me into the damaged goods category aka reclamation project. sean penn in 28 grams. |

It's kind of a hard question. Would this sickness be like forsay cancer or some kind of genetic problem (Cistic Fibrosiis ect).
Regardless if someone I was already with and loved it wouldn't be a question at all. Yet Like other people said if I know beforehand maybe not. |
