As I tell my girlfriend that her RSD is part of who she is. The RSD has made her stronger and more mature and open to new things.

Now would you want to date someone who can not accept you for who you are? What happens fruther down the road when you get married? How would he deal with marriage, children, and RSD? Would he be there for you and children then?

It sounds to me that this guy has a relationship issues. This has nothing to do with your condition. A real husband/father will not use any medical condition as a excuse to not take responsiblity.

Thanks, I thought about the same things. I would rather find out now then later on down the road. I don't want to be with someone who cannot accept me for who I am. Your girlfriend is lucky to have you. I hope I find someone who will accept me, all of me, one day.:)

If that guy broke up with you, it's his loss. I have read many of your posts and can tell that you are a caring, loving person.

Things will get better. They will. Stay the course and don't let somebody else define YOU.

Thanks. :) I will keep going and not worry about people who cannot accept me for who I am. Like others have said I am not my CRPS, I am much more than that. :) I just need to keep reminding myself of that.
