Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I have no fears that will ever leave me. If he were to die before me tho, I would be devastated. I sometimes wonder if I'd want to go on...I don't think I would. Blah, not something I like to think about.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Hi Kimi, I have no idea what I would do with ought Rich. He isn't only my partner, he is my best friend. I suppose I would be lost for a while, but I would become the way I was before I met him again. I had fun hanging out with my friends and goofing off when I was single and I guess I would just become that way again. Tammy Ksmile96@... wrote: I was actually not looking for a major serious relationship when I initially met , I guess that's why it took so long to see he is my soul mate. Be4 we dated I too was enjoying life, was going to school, had many friends, etc. Things are now the mostly the same except is now the center of my world and if something happens to him I will be devastated. Sometimes I think this is not healthy but I just can't imagine it any other way? How do the rest of you all feel about your partner and them dying, leaving, etc.?

I was was able to date easily because i knew i wouldn't be crushed if i was rejected. i wasn't looking for a relationship to make me happy...i already was happy...content...fulfilled. i learned that having a rich, full life, independent of having a romantic relationship makes the relationship i now have all the richer. we have our separate and combined interests and friendships. this may sound morbid, but if something ever happened to him i'd be extremely sad, probably depressed, very heartbroken. but i also know my life wouldn't be over. i have many fulfilling relationships and goals and a sense of purpose that are independent of the romantic relationship i have with chuck. my life was already rich and fulfilling. chuck makes it all the sweeter. alana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Is it disgusting to think I'd be devastated if Joe ever died because I'd be without my major caregiver rather than " lose " a love? I know he'd never leave me, but I worry about his safety often. I would be heartbroken if he died, but I know I would continue to live emotionally and I know that wouldn't have really lost him or his love. I'm only worried that my life would end, physically, because I rely on him so much for everything throughout the day. <3 Kendra > > > How do the rest of you all feel about your partner and them dying, > > leaving, etc.? > > Kimi > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 That is understandable Kendra, if my husband wasn't around I wouldn't be able to use the shower or get into my bedroom. My wheelchair barely fits down my hall and he has to pick me up and put me into bed just so I can go into my bedroom. I would be completely lost without his help, but emotionally I know I could move on.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 We have financially planned for my future so that I would be very comfortable if something were to happen to . It's the whole losing a big part of myself thing that I would have trouble dealing with. Twenty-one years of intense love and unconditional support would, in my opinion, would be hard to part with.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 A few more personal observations. Yes, it is important to be connected and satisfied in one's own self - and this makes you a better partner, but I can't believe that anyone should settle just for that and say it doesn't matter if I ever find a great relationship. Whether early or late or once in a lifetime or ten times in a lifetime, we need to keep trying for a relationship. That's what it is to be human - to need the presence of another person - to need their touch, their love. We aren't meant to be alone. I KNOW this is true, although I right now I don't feel it - I know it's true because I've lived long enough to believe it and experience it. When my first wife died I was 34, and through the pain, immediately I knew I would find someone else, that I needed someone else - this causes some guilt, especially when you start feeling sexual desire, and the need to talk, to love, to be with, so soon while at the same time you are crying three times a day without warning - talk about conflicted! When I divorced at 45 the same was true - same needs, same desires, same grief. Now at 57, it seems different - I'm so crushed, it is almost impossible to think of going on to another relationship, but intellectually, I know, that we are meant to partner - and even though I can't imagine how this could happen in my own life again, I would never tell anyone, to be satified with themselves and content to be without a partner. We should all, always be looking for intimate companionship, this is what it is to be alive.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Lori, I also have no fears will leave me intentionally. I know its very morbid and upsetting to think about your partner dying, but has DMD and the odds of him dying be4 me are a lot greater. So it crosses my mind a lot, esp when one of his DMD friends die suddenly. Kimi In a message dated 10/2/2005 11:43:14 A.M.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Tammy, is also my Best Friend and the 1st male to unconditionally love me. He has done so much for me. This is why I can't imagine life w/out him. It's hard when he is the center of my world. I'm sure I would go on w/out him eventually, but it would be very hard.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Bob, don't think my post was in response to yours. I didn't see it when I wrote. You expressed it beautifully. I'm just stating the possibility that for some it doesn't happen and we can't allow ourselves to feel diminished because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 This reminds me of a favorite quote of mine, " Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Bob, Everything you said was beautifully put. I agree with you 100%. Believe me, it's a lonely life when you go through your life not sharing it with someone. Yes, it's human to need love; everyone needs that. As I said, I'm 54 and still looking for love. Sometimes, it's discouraging and it gets tiring, but I still try. Thanks for your understanding and sensitivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I agree with Kendra. A big part of Lee possibly dying first that worries me is that, when he's gone, there will be no one to physically care for me. He has a life insurance policy, but I'm pretty sure with the amount of care I need, I'd burn through that pretty quickly. And I won't qualify for Medicaid (and attendants) until I basically pay my way into poverty. The cynical side of me is convinced I'd end up languishing in a nursing home somewhere. And then added to that, is the pain of losing my greatest source of emotional support too. I honestly think it'd be more than I could bear. I actually *pray* that I die first.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Jay, My marriage has recovered, but it took a willingness on my husbands part. He knew deep down that i wasnt making it up. He also had outside influences that werent helping. If your ex is willing to talk maybe you could show her some things. If she isnt willing to listen then maybe it is for the best. From what i have learned from dealing with people and this infestation, is that it is YOUR reality. If someone wants to judge you based off of it then its not worth trying to prove because they will always find something to balk at. You could also be fueling the fire. The world will not end if one or two people dont like, or believe you. WE believe you, and we know its true. You will see when you do find true love, because true love would listen and understand. You are an awesome person, and i have no doubt that you wont be single for long. I hope this helps, if it doesnt pertain to your situation, then please disregard.
