Back into dating...
My relationship with my wife has, evolved into one of us becoming best friends again, we recently had a mutual separation. I wouldn't change a thing about the previous 12 years and I'm happy that it ended how it did, because really neither of us was happy with the situation. So it is on to the third chapter in my life following the pre university years and the Debbie years.
So here is the thing, I was 18 when I got together with Deb and we didn't really do the whole dating thing back then, what with u being uni students, so this whole dating thing is new for me and now I have the whole when/how do I tell them that I have MS? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :-)
Oh, and if there are any single shift.ms members who live in the UK and like the whole sci fi films, video games or have a scottish accent, lets have a chat ;-)
Hi @Gav such a shame that you and your wife have split but glad to hear it's amicable. I don't envy you the whole "dating" thing and with the added pressure of having to mention MS too :-/ my advice would be to mention it as soon as is possible (First date..??) because if they run for the hills then they were so not suitable to give any of your time to anyway.. if they stay around and find out about how having MS affects you then they may be a keeper.. I do like a bit of Sci fi myself but I am way too old for you, don't have a Scottish accent and to be honest I do quite enjoy my single (sometimes selfish) life but best of luck with your search.. enjoy it and let us know how you get on :)
Hello @Gav, I completely agree with @northernlass - You MUST state Your MS before the end of the first date (not a second later). Either there is some kind of chatting at first, which is a good opportunity to mention it - but it might be too soon/too risky. In general it helps a lot, if the person has met You already in person. Yes, definitely DO keep us posted on Your dating progress! :-)
