Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 It has to do with rosacea lifestyle and rosacea in general so I think it's relevant. It's an awkward subject, but I'm sure some - maybe many - have thought about it.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 Well, having the support and full understanding of a loved one would be great to me. Although, I do have support from family and friends. I am not letting rosacea run my life. Yes, it is bothersome, it can be ugly, it is frustrating. But, people live with life threatening illnesses and live life to the fullest. I am the ONLY one in my family with rosacea. I have the same genes as brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. And still, I am the only one in my family with rosacea. Hey, I was merely suggesting and wondering if anyone out there would like to meet and if two rosaceans fall in love, get married and one day have children. You know what, GOOD FOR THEM. We live with this, and let it consume our lives sometimes. But life goes on. We will not die from it and it can be controlled...(sometimes). I would surely like to have a loved one who understands fully what I am going through. Not saying that someone who doesn't have rosacea can't be sympathetic and loving toward me when I am down about it. But let's face it...they do not fully understand. People date people with the same interests, sometimes two deaf people will marry because they have these things in common, two dog lovers may marry because they both have interests in dogs, two vegetarians may fall in love and not eating meat brought them together. You see where I am going with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
