Dating

[Jj12010]

So joined a dating site. Up to 250 lookers. 2 have text me didn’t know what MS was, when I explain they gone. I never had an issue meeting people until the MS attacked my walking . There is no place for us to search to help find someone. Just bummed I guess it’s me and the cats. 😪

I know exactly how you feel. Just try and have positive thoughts all the time. That's what I try to do everyday. Pray I meet or have already met the person for me.

Never give up on something you need and want.

Prayers to you!

I agree, good advice. 🦋

It's so sad that people aren't educated about MS as well as about

a lot of other things. If people don't want to accept you the way you are

then maybe they're not right for you and the right one will come along.

I’m excited for you getting out there.

The last guy I dated he found out I had MS because of me going to my dr apt and I slipped up.

It worked out fine because his mother had dementia

I messed up when I started freaking out because I was coming out of remission and I was just thinking I’m going to be a burden he has to deal with me and his mother. I didn’t leave the choice to him.

It's too bad there is not a dating site with people like us. I dont know, like all neaurogy or medical issues. It would be easier for people that have issues.

I was just thinking that the other day.

[Jj12010 in reply to jkdavid99]

Why do you think that is? Seems to be good idea to me

Come on ladies and gentlemen you never know there must be someone out there for you.

I know it’s easier for me too say that I’ve been married for, it will be 34 years on August 4th and we knew each other for 7 years before that boy I’m old. But don’t give up.

I agree, don’t give up. I met my boyfriend three years ago on Match (I’m 53). I told him on our third date about my MS. (For some reason I blurted it out, I can’t remember what he was talking about, but at the time it seemed like I should share. He immediately told me he has asthma....at the time, it struck me funny, but I think he was just trying to let me know that people have different health concerns ). You never know who’s out there for you.

I didn’t know I had MS when I met my husband, so I can’t totally relate. But we were both in our 40’s and had given up finding the right person. I had five kids from a previous marriage, and that extinguished any flames for most men very quickly! But that sweet man wasn’t a bit daunted. Neither of us wanted a superficial relationship, but one based on who we were and similar goals. It was a miracle that we found one another, yet here we are 15 years later, married, and still thrilled.

It can happen.

That’s on my to do list - dating and hopefully finding someone to share the rest of my life with. Here’s some inspiration: a friend that I’ve known since preschool who also has MS found her (3rd) husband through a dating website. If she can do it so can we. Just think that your significant other is on this earth right at this moment, you just haven’t found each other yet. ❤️

I'm right there with y'all! I see a pretty woman, she returns my smile. Open the conversation, small talk then progresses to "why the cane"? "Were you in an accident?" No, I have MS... her look... 🤤😟😢 aw...conversation OVER! So if I was in an accident, or somehow injured thats ok.... but ms... oh well, im batteling coming to grips with what is on a daily basis.... such is life as I know know it.
