I am really reluctant to get into a relationship, as *preaching to the choir*, my schedule is jam packed. I figure if I am forced to fit a steady girlfriend in, something else will inevitably get thrown out, that is, unless the hours in a day increase, I'm not holding my breath on that one.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> I might have to skip doing my leg stretches that I do for 20 minutes every day, maybe skip a treatment or 2, lose some sleep. As if I'm not a chronic insomniac already. At times, I feel like a charity case, as if I so much as have to travel, I have to count carbs when I eat, be sure to take enzymes, eat at certain times, try not to neglect doing treatments.
A girlfriend I had years ago, I was totally honest with; even showcased me doing the vest in front of her. She was alright with it; as long as my illness wasn't up front and center. Meaning, I basically kept it out of our relationship, and when we were apart, I'd do my treatments. Every single girlfriend I was serious about, I shared the fact that I am diseased with. If you are in a serious relationship, how can you expect your significant other to be totally honest with you if you don't lay all your cards on the table? But I don't think relationships are for me, I'm not interested in the roller coaster ride of emotions they entail, and I absolutely refuse to be policed.
