Selfish woman

Why are all woman selfish because once a man has m.s. & is labelled disabled woman dont want to know so theres no chance of boy freind/ girl freind & even sleeping with a woman

Hi, I know lots of men who have MS and are in relationships with women , so those women arent selfish!

Maybe you need to re-think your own attitude, or you’ll never find that one special person who is waiting for you. Dont let yourself become bitter.

Hi, I have to agree with Bouds, not all women are selfish, just like all men aren’t the same, I just don’t think you’ve met the right one yet and with that attitude you may never, so come on don’t be so negative.

Sorry mate, but with that kind of an attitude, the ladies aren’t exactly going to be queuing up to sleep with you!

When I was in my “wilderness years” (between first & second marriages), I did plenty of online dating. For me, this was pre-diagnosis and even pre-symptoms but I’d advise that you don’t lead with your MS status and introduce it only when it becomes relevant to future progress.

Online Dating is a bit like selling a product but this time the product is You! If you were selling a car, you’d mention all the good stuff like how well it drives, how shiny & clean it is, its service history etc. You certainly wouldn’t lead with pointing out the scratches, rust and components about to fail. These things would come to light once they’ve shown they’re interested, you’re in a more detailed conversation and a little bit of rapport has been established, making it easier for them to be discussed.

Years ago, I was broken up with by someone I briefly dated - the reason he gave was that it was ‘too much pressure’ that he might have to look after me in the future due to my MS. At the time, I had been diagnosed for around a year and had little to no symptoms. His mum was a nurse and he told me she’d advised him to break up with me.

That put me off for a long time, and led to me seeking the wrong kind of relationships for a while (ones I knew weren’t going to last!) so I didn’t have to tell anyone.

However, as soon as I met my partner, I knew I was going to fall for him! So I decided it was only fair to tell him about my MS a few dates in, convinced that he would leg it as well. I even said to him ‘If you want to call it off and just leave now, I really won’t hate you and I’ll understand’.

His response was literally ‘what are you on about, you daft sod’ :joy:

We’re as solid as ever and he’s the most amazing support. My MS seems to be progressing at the moment, with more frequent and severe flare ups. His support has never wavered, although he does admit that it’s hard sometimes. I think it’s totally healthy for us both to be able to say that! It is hard!

When you find the right person, they’ll understand. Don’t lead with your MS - you are so much more than that. Don’t resent those you haven’t yet met, because of a few bad experiences.
