Does anyone else find dating difficult ? I never know how to approach it all and then have to think about the rejection aspect if they don’t want to “deal” with you 😑

I find that dating is difficult too. I never know how to approach the issue of the pain that happens during sex or any other implication that can and have gone wrong because of my endo. Once I get close to someone I'm normally upfront about the situation immediately so they know what to expect. If the don't accept you for who you are, then that's their issue. But yes you definitely need someone who is mature and considerate. Hope this helped <3

I find it so difficult. I’ve been single for 6 years because of battling with painful sex and I just don’t think there is ever a right time to tell. I tried before and I get “ghosted” and I’ve tried after I have met them and I get told I’m selfish, a liar, leading people on.... it’s all a bit demoralising.

I have just started again and I’m already having anxiety about it but we have to try right? Just being honest and upfront I think is always best and try not to get down about the idiot guys that can’t seem to think with their brain.

For info I’m 26 so I am currently hoping guys are now looking more to settle down so fingers crossed!

And good luck! You are so pretty so don’t worry, the right guy will come along :)

Hey I know the feeling, my ex forced me to have sex even though it was so painful for me. My new boyfriend is understand of the pain I’m in at certain times of the month but I haven’t told him about the sex thing yet as I’m scared he will run off. However he seems to be the one.

Don’t worry you will find a lad who completely understands and maybe get him to read about it if he doesn’t understand at first xx
