TinTin Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Only my second post but I feel i'm in need of a little support and encouragement at the moment. My first post, around 6 months ago I reckon, was how I was struggling to deal with a jealousy about exes issue. this has sort of paled into insignificance over the last few months, although it does pop up from time to time when I'm feeling a bit low. In January I lost my dad, very unexpectedly to a heart attack. Just as I was sort of coming to terms with this, my girlfriend, whom I live with, has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. Only very early stages so it can be treated, but possibly by way of hysterectomy, and we're only mid twenties! We did say we never wanted children but the possibilty of having that choice taken away from us is heartbreaking. On top of all this my job is looking very unstable at the moment!! Not having a good time of it at all at the moment. On the plus side I know it is only making our relationship stronger. We've been together for almost two years now but it feels like forever and I couldn't wish for a more caring girlfriend. If I can somehow get us through this year I feel there may be something sparkly for her at the end of it... just got to get through this latest issue I suppose....Something has to go right eventually..... right?
vessv6l Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Sorry to hear about the loss of you father, a death in the family is always a tough time for everyone. That is really sad news about your girlfriend also. I hope there is another option for that treatment then that surgery. Even if you dont want children now it would be a sad thing if you changed the way you feel later on. Even if you dont have any like you said i hope you always have that option there. I never thought i would really want any but now i think that it is something i really want to do. Having a life that i have helped create for me would be the single greatest achievement i could hope for. But it all comes down to individuals. Its a great thing that you are both taking comfort in each other and im sure you will build a loving relationship that will stand the test of time. Jobs come and go, if this one falls through ive no doubt you will get another one. In times like these it helps to focus on the things that are going right in your life, even though they may seem far and few between. Each day look forward to coming home to your loving girlfriends warm embrace, do small things that you enjoy like watching funny movies, or reading books or just little things that you can lose yourself in. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other. You will get through and one day look back at the hardship you faced but found strength and perservered. And smile mate, might not seem at the moment but life is great
