Thread: Update!!!!!

That is a very good question! Where do we go from here? Now, for the first time since only a few mths into our relationship, I feel I can really start to take a look at the way things REALLY are and not have to constantly question myself "Am I feeling this way because of the HD?" "Am I pulling away and putting my guard up because we're not right for each other, or because I'm scared of the possibility of HD in his future". Incompatibilities, things that tick me off or get on my nerves.......I can really look at those things now from a normal perspective without that negative gloom hanging over my head. And now if things dont work out, it's because we're not compatible......not because he's been given a death sentence. And that is very much a sense of relief for me.

For him, I believe this will give him a confidence he's never had. A "I am a good man, and I'm worthy of a great relationship" confidence, rather than a "She's doing me a favor by being with me" mentality that I believe he has had due to the gloom and doom possibilities he's been facing for 10 years. I believe this will take a weight off his shoulders that is incomprehendable to me, or to most anyone. And I'm so grateful of that for him.

I think that now, we can truly have our relationship just like anyone else would, and really be able to look at whether or not we believe we can get past our incompatibilities, whether we can truly be happy together, or whether we need to peace and part ways. And knowing that if it doesn't work out with me, he CAN find someone and have a family and have the life he wants.......that makes me feel pretty darn good. I guess you could say this takes alot of pressure off me as well.
