I'm 34 years old and would love to date, find a companion, get married and start a family someday, but I can't help feeling like I'm being selfish.
I have put my dating life on hold ever since I was diagnosed back in 2012. While I can still walk and am independent in doing things for myself, things can change at any moment. I don't want to be a burden for someone. I could not live with myself knowing that.
How do you guys feel about dating with this disease? Anyone in the same boat as me? Do you even bring up in the conversation that you have MS? If so, how early on do you broach the subject? I feel like the other person should know upfront about what they are getting into. Definitely not the first date perhaps, but before things get too serious.
Thoughts?
