Would you stay if the person you loved had a complex medical condition?

Question

I have a chronic degenerative condition and I'm terrified that people will leave me as soon as they realize how bad everything is. Before I was diagnosed I was already struggling with feeling like I didn't deserve to be loved, and now that I'm actively feeling my body fall apart it just makes all of the progress I made in therapy completely vanish. There's a chance I can stabilize if I'm able to work with my body but I don't have the time or the support to do it. I just want honest answers so I can finally put this to rest and move on.

Yes. If I already love them I can't turn that off. But if you're asking if I'm getting to know them and I find this out. I'm just guessing the answer is no. And I think that's MOST people you ask (man or woman). It's one of the reasons I've remained single listen to most women on this site and they're very upfront about thier lack of commitment. As soon as you become a liability to them they're done with him.

My honest answer is you're going to be hard pressed to find a (or woman) that will take the bad with the good, if you're already experiencing the bad. It's just the unfortunate REALITY of people today.

Truthfully I probably would not. I lead a very active life style and would prefer to be with somebody that could share that with me.
However if I was married to somebody that was diagnosed with a medical condition I would not bail on them. I took the whole "sickness and in health" thing pretty literally.

My brother has OI as does his kids. My dad had a series of issues as well so I guess what I'm saying is I would be used to dealing with those who are in poor health. That being said, I'm not sure we'd be compatible with all my issues. It's a lot to have to deal with and depending on their condition, they may be ill equipped to help me too.

Plenty of people without that kind of baggage so I wouldn't willfully date someone with those issues

Be honest. If your significant other was diagnosed with a terminal illness or suffered a life changing injury. Would you stay with them or leave?
