I guess i'm the odd man out. There are tons and tons and tons of people on earth, and in my/your area who are very nice catches, and out of those people, a smaller percentage could be very close life partners. I'm 36, and have been in very good/close, immensely loving relationships. Maybe 3 out of 10 of those have been VERY much so, as in marriage till death do you part level. I have also met females who I was very attracted to both inside and out, who happened to be CF's as well. I knew the level of problems that would come along with dating another CF'r, and didn't subject myself to that.
I will say that it would be different if say you met someone, hung out a while, and massively fell for them soul mate wise, and THEN after a while found out you both were cystics. But seriously, how often does that happen? After a month or so max you would share your routine with them, and them you. Usually by a month, most people who aren't a tad bit "off" or ultra lonely won't fall head over heels for someone.
People seem very one sided in this discussion, very pro "The CF's should embrace their love and deal with it, life is too short, yada yada yada, etc". Two CF's being together, even who are VERY much in love, is admittedly abusive. The cross infection, giving each other bugs, sinus crap, you name it. While different, if two people were equally in love, but one was say a flaming alcoholic and or abusive to the other person in that way, i'm sure you guys would advocate them not to be together, atleast after realizing things weren't going to change (especially the women on here if it were the guy who was abusive due to their problems).
If you seriously take a step back, and realize just how many decent future mates are out there who you can have a wonderful, ultra loving relationship with...Why would anyone advocate two cystics be together, and cause nothing but problems for each other in a myriad of ways? I tend to take off the rose colored glasses and try to see things for what they are, even if it's not all that popular.
