We really are blessed...we know our medical issues already. And we have to tell people that we are in a relationship with up front. Could you imagine falling in love with someone and building a life together and then getting cancer of something and their not bale to deal with it...and they leave you? I have heard these stories way too many times. But for me, I have to tell the guy pretty early on in the relationship....if he cant deal with it, then good riddens! He's not going to stand by my side through the struggles of life anyway. But the man that accepts it, will go with the flow and deal with anything life throws at us! And that's who I want!
Please note: I have told many guys about my ostomy...and knock on wood, I have never been "denied." Who knows ultimately what ended the relationships, but I would put money on the fact that it just has to do with me being a little crazy, bit anything to do with my ostomy :)
