Am I selfish for wanting love?

[Anonymous]

I have a genetic condition which shortens my lifespan. Males with my condition burn in the 90s are expected to live 37-45 years. While currently, my health is actually 10% above normal, the clock is ticking as I'm already 26. I feel like it's selfish for me to want a wife and kids when I know I won't be around for the foreseeable future, even if I found someone now. I'd be proceeding, knowing she and the child won't have me around for long, which I consider selfish of me. But I can't help but wonder if maybe a woman can fully understand and accept this. I currently doubt it, since we always think things will be okay, even when they really aren't. Is my desire for love misplaced selfishness?

Yes

No

Your feelings are heartfelt and genuine, and not at all selfish! 😘 Love is a beautiful part of life, regardless of its length. From what I've seen, life inherently comes with unknowns for all of us. It's possible to find someone who accepts and cherishes your reality, creating deep connections while embracing life's uncertainties. It's about open communication and mutual understanding. You're not wrong to crave companionship; it's a human need. Believe in the beauty of love and the possibility of someone who sees your worth beyond a timeline. 🌟 Embrace your desire, sweet soul!

Get a big Life Insurance policy worth a least half a million dollars and make the woman the beneficiary after you die. I am sure she will marry you, women are mercenary bitches all the way. You die and she gets rich. Misplaced selfishness no, misplaced stupidity yes. You have to have something to bring to the table, in your case much more than a sad bad health, die early story. A woman will not fall for that shit, you need to back it up with something like money.

No, not at all. Everyone needs love. Those who claim otherwise are simply lying.
