Could you please give me some dating advice?
Hello! As the title says, I am looking for dating advice.
My last relationship ended in June of 2016 and that break up has psychologically scarred me. In February 2016 my health started to feline very quickly - I wasn’t able to work because of it and that nearly broke me - I had no choice but to resign. I had my dream job and I hoped and prayed I would get better... But it soon became apparent that I would likely never be able to go back to work...
Then on our anniversary (30th June 2016) my fiancé took me out to see a movie I’d been dying to see and then he took me to a pub for a nice big steak. I was so happy. We went back to his place and then at 2am when we were cuddling he turned to look at me and said; “I can’t be with you anymore. You are broken and useless and you’ll never be anything else.” It broke me... I still haven’t fully recovered from the enormous wound that was caused by his words...
I’ve started to use Plenty of Fish (POF) to look for a girlfriend but I’m a little conflicted. My disabilities are mostly invisible so I don’t know how or when to bring up my health issues.
In the past I’ve told people pretty much straight away that I have some debilitating health issues but I’ve always gotten really awful replies... One girl said that I was trying to trap someone in a relationship... Amd another girl said there is no point in me looking for love since I’ll probably die on the table during my liver transplant...
Should I wait and get to know them first and THEN tell them about it? I wish I was better at this...
Thank you in advance!
