Would it put you off someone if they had a history of heart problems? (Page 2)

Question

I was born with a bad heart. At the age of 3 I had to have open heart surgery. Which was successful. I had a normal childhood and played a lot of football (soccer if you are American) and never had any problems with my fitness. Aged 15 I had to have keyhole surgery to replace a heart valve. This didn't go to plan and as a result I had to have open heart surgery a year later. This was successful. 

I am now 31 and have had no problems for the last 15 years. I do go to the hospital once a year to have a check up to make sure everything is ok. Obviously I have a big scar down my chest as a result of the surgeries.

My previous girlfriends have never had a problem with it. However I was dating this girl recently who suddenly stopped returning my calls with no explanation. I was told later by one of her friends, that she was put off when she found out about my history of heart problems. Apparently she was worried I was going to have a heart attack or something. This really upset me because I have never had this used against me before. I am now worried other people may be put off when they find out.

Lol so hard at a girl that thinks the guy she ends up with won't have clogged fucking arteries at some point.

No not at all! It seems cruel that it would be off-putting to anyone! That girl is just weird. Don't worry about it. :)

Supposedly I have a heart murmur that could take me at anytime. This was mentioned to me in passing by my mother a couple years ago. Wtf? Fuck it

angelmarkley · Answer

I wouldn't have a problem with it. My mother has heart problems so I'm kind of used to it I guess.

Ultimate Warrior was married and had kids and I am pretty sure his wife knew of his families heart condition.

Its definitely a discussion to have with someone when you're getting serious, but I think it would be selfish of her to leave you because of that!

maiez · Answer

i have plenty of problems, so dating someone with health problems isn't really that big of a deal.

art84 · Answer

Yes it would put me off only because you would have to care for this person like a caregiver.
