I think you have a wonderful idea. I would love to have ended up

with someone who also has rosacea. I would feel less lonely with

it. Since it's a lifetime condition and impacts many aspects of life

I would consider it having a major thing in common that would bring

two people closer together. I think it's a wonderful idea.

I am married and my husband does not have rosacea and I of course do

not wish he had rosacea, but sometimes I wish he could experience a

little of what I go through so he might understand it a little better.
