I was married when I was diagnosed, then I left my husband (nothing to do with ms), that was 18 months ago. I go out a lot with my friends and get attention from men, but I'm nervous of starting a new relationship as I don't want to be a potential burden to anyone! Does anyone else feel like this??

I haven't been on a proper date in a while and I was thinking about joining a dating site. Shouldn't let my ms stop me meeting new people and having fun. Have any of you guys done this? Are there people out there that want to go out with someone with ms? I hope so.

How do those who are single, get round the hurdle of dating, as soon as I tell a woman who I get chatting to that I've got ms, they just disappear, it can be so upsetting.

My MS doesn't define...

So here’s something outside of my usual and Occasional posts. I haven’t been on date Since 2019 (I’m single) And it’s only because I refuse to go on a date, considering my physical disability. Guys are still interested. I just have a really big ego I guess and I don’t except the offer even tho I wa...

Just curious what everyone's experience has been with dating. So far mine sucks. Most guys bail as soon as I tell them I have MS. I realize if they can't deal with it I am better off without them but it just gets exhausting having to deal with it all the time. :(

Morning all. I have a question to both Men and women. My wife of 20 yrs a few months back now decided she wanted to end our marriage. Her main reason was that she did not like the progression on my MS ending the line with” your MS is not what I signed up for” she must have missed the line in sicknes...

When do you tell someone your dating that you have ms? I told the last person on the 5th date and they got upset with me for not telling them sooner. I didn’t feel comfortable with them sooner and it didn’t seem like he was that into me.
