Imagine if we were that honest with each new prospective mate.</end quote></div>

Hmm, I've now determined why I am single. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

i went through a year engagement and ended up in the hospital 2 days before our wedding with newly diagnosed CFRD. Almost had to cancel our honeymoon. I was honest with my future husband....had a heart to heart with him and told him I would understand if this was all too much for someone to handle in a marriage and I gave him the option of walking away. He wrote me a beautiful letter that i still have and told me my strength, perspective on life, and love made him want to marry me all the more. I have been able to give him almost 15 years and a daughter<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Our life has not been all that difficult or different from the problems of other couples....marriage is not easy for anyone. It has to be a commitment and choice you both make with all the facts on the table. Hope you find your heart on this matter<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

My husband knew of my CF and knew about it before we started even dating. He didn't care that I have CF and he knew that life would not be that easy. If someone truly loves you, they will do anything for you and my husband has done just that. He has spent night after night in the ER with me, spent endless hours traveling to come see me when I was in the Cleveland Clinic 6 hours from home, has struggled with me to pay the medical bills, and basically lived like a single father while I was waiting for the transplants. I was in and out of the hospital so much. There was even a 63 day stretch, when our son was only 9 months old, where Nate had to go to work, take Brady to daycare, pick Brady up and take care of him at night, do all the shopping, clean the house, pay the bills, and come to see me in the hospital 6 hours away. He had to continue to take care of Brady while I was recovering from the transplants.

Nate did not see me as a burden or see me as selfish. When we got together, I did not expect him to love me, it was his choice if he wanted to be with me or not. We have been married now for 6 years (on July 27) and sure it has been hard, but it has been great. We love each other and are in it for the long haul.

Did you guys notice that this post originated back in 2004 and I don't think the OP is even around anymore unless he is under another name?
Just didn't want you to spend lots of time pooring out your hearts needlessly...<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
