Search Results: always want it

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?

Hey I just wanted to say thank you for being a great girlfriend the past year. I’ll always have great memories from our time together (whether it’s our hot tub with the bugs in Wales, neon painting in the cavern, playing Skyrim, picking out vinyls for listening parties, feeding birds or playing around in museums with your creative mind). I’ve learnt so much about myself and what I want and need in relationships especially given my lack of experience (not counting non serious 20s ones, I’d say you were my first proper adult relationship) and I’ve learnt how to take better photos. 😜

Even though it didn’t work out in the end (and I think on reflection it was the right decision), Im grateful you gave me the opportunity to get to know you and be a part of your life and purple haven & helping me find a bit more confidence :) I hope the next chapter of your life brings you much joy and happiness and ultimately, I hope you find what you’re looking for :) It’s up to you but I hope we can part on good terms and Im happy to keep in touch if you are :) but for now, I bid you farewell.
