Exactly..............that was my question.

Yes........

What does terminally ill have to do with love?

Love is love, regardless of circumstances, and always has it's rewards.

I agree with what you are saying also gingerb.......but not many would be willing to give their all to a relationship knowing that it is going to end in a short amount of time with them watching while the one they love suffers.

Just my thoughts on this issue...........

Hi again sweet....rather call u that then dangerous.....



For the topic....I'd be scared.

Maybe selfishly, but I'd be extremely scared to thread on such territory.

My instinct would tell me to steer clear......

even if it hurts....

Good morning kurzita >:D<

I respect your opinion. Some may think it selfish. But for you, and others like you..........one cannot be too careful when dealing with matters of the heart. Some broken hearts never mend.

Hi kurzita i don't think that's a selfish way of looking at it at all

it is an extremley hard thing to deal with, and not everyone is able to,

sometimes we have to think of ourselves to and what is right for us.

Again it's one of those situations where i s'pose you could say 'never say never'

but we all have a gut feeling as to whether we could or would want to do it.

Hey Morgan....just 'met' you on a blog I went in....somehow it seems that stuff that pulls my attention is parallel to what gets yours too....just happenned to cruise throu the blogs and met this one which seems to be really angry at men on CS...and found a post by u too....



But yes, thanks for the comment, as for Swett too.....u know I sort of fell guilty when confronted with such questions as this, however, yes, self preservation seems to take over and logical conclusions are normally drawn.

I cant say yes/no..never been put in that situation...but if i was Probably...We all need Love no matter who and what we are..and what life as put in front of us...

Now that is weird that was the first time i ever even looked at the blogs! think you must be right ! Going back to this having worked with children that were terminally ill and the elderly and supported there families thro that pain, i just know i couldn't get into a personal relationship like that , and i don't think you should feel guilty being honest with yourself .

And by the way...

regarding this topic.....just remembered a briallant movie on the same subject....Autumn in New York.....Richard Geere and I think Wynona Ryder it was....

incredibly movie.....

If it was a non contagious illness and if I was madly in love with them then yes.. I would start a relationship with them.

In my way of thinking all relationships reach the terminal stage someday. Either through separation or one of the partners dies sooner than later. Most probably sooner, I know if one has a terminal illness

Then again there's no lifetime guarantees if both partners are superfit..One could easily be suddenly killed in some kind of freak accident.

Even if the actual love affair only lasted a short time. The good memories would be everlasting. At least in my lifetime

You e a very good point here Zellar............one I hadn't thought of.

DangerouslySweet...would you mind if I turned the question around?

What if you were terminally ill? Would you be able to allow someone to love you knowing you will die and they will be very hurt? Is it worth the pain or is the love worth the experience?

I absolutely would if it felt like he could be my soulmate. After all, we've all heard those "terminally ill" stories, when the person is given 3 months and lives for many more years.

Probably yes

That is a tough question to answer. Right now I would have to say no........I wouldn't want to inflict that kind of pain on anyone. I think I would feel selfish caring only about my own experience.

But then again, my thoughts could change again tomorrow.

We're all terminally ill.
Personally no, life is not a certainty for anyone but I would rather not limit the odds. Its a tough road loving someone going through so many changes physically and emotionally and unless the relationship was a long standing one I would not choose to go down that road.

I'd still like a little more input on this thread..........please.

hmmm this is a hard one. Personally I couldn't really answer it honestly unless I was faced with the situation.
