yellowhibiscus Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 I came out of a long term relationship last December and I've recently started dating again. My problem is that I have a bone marrow disorder that I've had for the past 2 years and there is a really good possibility that I am going to need a bone marrow transplant in the near future. I have thought about canning the whole dating thing all together because 1). I don't really know how to bring it up and 2). I have a feeling that this would scare some guys away. On the other hand, I'm 28 years old and feel like I really want to find that special someone. Is this something that I should bring up initially or should I wait to discuss this later on after I've met someone?? I started the online dating thing and I've had someone ask me out but I just don't know what to do. Thanks!
Kelemort Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 How often do most people bring up their medical histories during the dating stretch? Most don't, and you shouldn't feel obligated to. It would be different if you had an STI, but you don't. This wouldn't scare me away if I were dating, especially after I got to know you. If you don't treat is like it's a huge deal, they probably won't either. FYI: I'm a bone marrow donor. My blood type's B-. So if you ever need one...
