Moral Dilemma...... (94)
Trealach01: I never suggested or implied there was an 'obligation'. I said "There is not one scintilla of 'charity', 'love' or 'understanding' of, or for, the other person."
Was not a real situation,there really was no need to make any sort of comment or opinion of the type of person i am,was there? i do apologize if my initial response seemed seemed brash,i felt you were sticking a knife in,i may have jumped the gun and i thank you for the reply.

theres worse ways to go than cavorting naked on an exotic beach

I think the point of the thread was more about how to deal with getting into that situation in the first place and not about what to do when you are actually in it. I understand that the dilemma was the feeling of not being able to deal with the emotions that it would bring up. I certainly dont believe that the OP was being selfish in bringing up the question. If one was to read back over his posts he does state that if he was with someone who was diagnosed as terminal he would try to be the best boyfriend that he could be. However, he did question whether it would be advisable to become attached if you knew at first meeting that the person was terminal.
Its quite an interesting question but one which is obviously very sensitive.

Thank you for your kind words on my insights.
However, on sincerity; I have to say that it does not seem to be an integral part of these forums, or at least of the subjects that are brought up. My own feeling is that KB had a legitimate point to make and he tried to make it. Whether he sincerely wanted to find the answer to a dilemma is moot.
All I can say is that I found it interesting and I thank him also for his polite responses to my posts.

Manners cost nothing, as my Mother would say.I came to these forums a few months back in a rather unstable frame of mind made a few threads which have left a certain 'sensitive' label on me,was i wrong to express myself in a forum? i don't think so.If it makes certain people feel like im an easy target,feel free to take as many shots as you see fit,they bounce off me......ill keep being sensitive,much better than pretending im good at flrting.
I dont know if I would continue a relationship with someone whom I knew to be terminally ill.....
My reason, I have a young daughter, would it be fair to her??? I think not...

Kiely, you keep posting, like us all on here, you are entitled to. I am sorry for your loss...
As for some of the negative posts on here, thats the reason Im a lurker and not a poster...

Obviously someone who can see all the sides of a subject,thank you for the sympathy,i admit i lost touch with that friend over the last few years,but still chatted from time to time.It seems if you don't belong to a clique in these forums you are a troll,whatever that means,i guess you need to be voted in or something.As for my sensitive label,i will gladly accept it if it means i am free to be the person i want to be and not feel obliged to comply with the standards set by the 'personality police' in these threads.But i wonder would certain people call me sensitive if face to face with me......the mind boggles.

Be true to yourself and no one else. Personally I think your responses were polite and you stood your ground. One in particular agreed with you to begin with,but obviously begged off with the reaction from the 'personality police'.
I myself just could not be bothered with the hassle i see on here, so i just tend to post on threads I feel storngly about. Other than that I sit here with my
kielybear: So you meet someone and start and there's and instant spark,you become friend's but the person has just told you that they have only a matter of years to live,due to illness,as many as 10 years or as little as 1 year.Now i'm not posting this tread as a way to reincarnate peoples personal trauma at the hands of disease and death,just wonder what would you do if in that situation,would you run or let true love run its course....?????
I have read your post over a few times and IMO, it cover a lot of issues and a simple yes or no would not be fair answer
but what you are asking is? would we/i stay or go.Everyone one of us is different, and sitting here behind a screen it is very easy to give an answer......... but sitting in front of a person who is terminally ill that i have feelings for
i honestly dont know, so i can not answer
