Valentine's Day Question

[welshwitch]

Hi y'all!

happy upcoming Valentine's Day!

This is a question for all of you either with CF, or married/together with a person with CF:

Nowadays, a lot of my girlfriends are getting hitched (I'm 28, so it's that "time!) I'm definitely not ready to get married now, but of course I wouldn't rule it out in the future.

I know when one person in a relationship has CF it definitely adds a new dimension to the relationship. So, my question to you is:

*how did you know s/he was "the one"?
*what types of things do you end of troubleshooting in a partnership where one person has CF?
*has CF strengthened, or cause trouble in your relationship?
*if you have CF, what have you been able to teach your partner and vice versa?
*how did you know that you did/did not want kids?
*any tips for marriage/partnerships in which one person has CF?

basically, I'd love to hear some great love stories/tips in families where one partner has CF.

*how did you know s/he was "the one"?
- i just knew from about the second week we hung out. he's funny, loving, caring, compasionate, sometimes a dork, a provider, and he was great around kids

*what types of things do you end of troubleshooting in a partnership where one person has CF?
- not really sure i understand this question, but i have a hard time getting him to come with me to the doctor. i don't know if it's because the last time he went my doctor made them draw blood for his ambry test or what <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> i know he is concerned with my health i just think in the three years we've been together he still doesn't get it even though i've lived with him through two iv's and having a child. he knows the seriousness of it, but i don't think its ever actually sunk in. i update him on tricia lawerenson all the time about how lucky we are.
- there was one time when dustin said something to me that made me realize he didn't care that i had cf, he was going to love me and keep me no matter what. i don't even think we had been together a year yet. at the time i wasn't doing my medicine and he said he didn't want his little boy or girl coming up to him and asking him why mommy couldn't come outside and play.

*has CF strengthened, or cause trouble in your relationship?
- i think its stengthened it because cf is something that he and my other family members can relate to. they know that i have to get up everyday and do treatments, know that i might have to go one ivs at times. he's not embarrased to tell people what is wrong with me.

*if you have CF, what have you been able to teach your partner and vice versa?
- dustin knew nothing about cf. early on i let him know that i had something kinda like asthma since i coughed all the time. then i further explained to him what cf was and told him it was a fatal disease. that didn't seem to phase him at all.

*how did you know that you did/did not want kids?
- i have always wanted to have kids. dustin was determined that he is not a carrier of the cf gene. he was tested after i got pregnant and is not a carrier. we have not had morgan tested, but hopefully she is just a carrier. i really want to have another child, but we will have to see where my health is in a year or two.

*any tips for marriage/partnerships in which one person has CF?
- it's tough and sometimes they just don't get it. i wish we could all have a partner/spouse like nate lawerenson. let me tell you, that couple is amazing!!!!! i wish dustin would keep up with their blog and learn a few pointers from nate.

*how did you know s/he was "the one"?
We were so much alike (personality wise). He loved me with my CF. I also just "knew" he was "the one" for me. We are quite in love (13 years of marriage)-- it is quite sappy.

*what types of things do you end of troubleshooting in a partnership where one person has CF?
We don't have to troubleshoot much of anything... my exhaustion/fatigue is about the only thing that causes trouble

*has CF strengthened, or cause trouble in your relationship?
Strengthened mostly

*if you have CF, what have you been able to teach your partner and vice versa?
I have taught hubby everything there is to know about CF... He learned a bunch before we got married and then learned a bunch after we got married.

*how did you know that you did/did not want kids?
We voted not to have kids at first and then tried for a short time (to find out I had fertility issues) and then got pregnant out of the blue shortly after that.

*any tips for marriage/partnerships in which one person has CF?
Communicate, communicate.

This is an awesome post. My husband and I have been friends for years, been together for 10, and married for almost 6 1/2.

*how did you know s/he was "the one"?
- We'd known each other for so many years, but I think I realized that he was "the one" when he asked me to homecoming over the phone, while I was admitted to the hospital.

*what types of things do you end of troubleshooting in a partnership where one person has CF?
- I think everyone has a different idea of what troubleshooting means. For us, our biggest thing is juggling our kids around when I have to be admitted. It's not an issue in our relationship, but it's a huge stress that comes only this frequently because of CF. One thing I think he gets tired of, is how tired I am and how I don't often feel like going shopping and stuff.

*has CF strengthened, or cause trouble in your relationship?
-I'm not sure it's done either. It just is what it is.

*if you have CF, what have you been able to teach your partner and vice versa?
-I've taught him a lot about lung issues, ivs, medications, infections...I think the biggest thing he's learned from me is germ control. lol. Me from him? So many things I could never list them all. He's taught me to live life, instead of waiting to die.

*how did you know that you did/did not want kids?
-We thought we wanted kids but there were so many issues that came along with it. We decided for sure when I unexpectedly became pregnant with our first. lol

*any tips for marriage/partnerships in which one person has CF?
Be patient, communicate, and just really love each other, come what may.

One thing I think he gets tired of, is how tired I am and how I don't often feel like going shopping and stuff.

*has CF strengthened, or cause trouble in your relationship?
-I'm not sure it's done either. It just is what it is.

*if you have CF, what have you been able to teach your partner and vice versa?
-I've taught him a lot about lung issues, ivs, medications, infections...I think the biggest thing he's learned from me is germ control. lol. Me from him? So many things I could never list them all. He's taught me to live life, instead of waiting to die.

*how did you know that you did/did not want kids?
-We thought we wanted kids but there were so many issues that came along with it. We decided for sure when I unexpectedly became pregnant with our first. lol

*any tips for marriage/partnerships in which one person has CF?
Be patient, communicate, and just really love each other, come what may.
