[quote=Anonymous]I am 32 and have been dating my BF for 6 years, living together for 1.
He has a degenerative disease.  When we met,  he had very few symptoms and his doctors had a handle on everything.
Over the last year, his health has gotten much, much worse.  He is in almost constant pain, can barely walk and his memory and cognitive abilities are being affected.  He is in a bad mood everyday, which is understandable.  I spend my days worrying about him.  It has taken over my life. As a result, out relationship has suffered.  We are very rarely intimate and live more like roommates.  I love this man but this disease is taking everything away from us.
We were laying in bed and he told me that he feels horrible guilt for robbing me of my life.  He said that I deserve to be with someone who can give me the life I deserve, someone who I can live a full life with.  He then told me that he is planning to move to his home state to live with his parents because he knows he can't work for much longer and because he knows he doesn't have much time left.
My heart is broken.  I don't want to be away from him.
I worry that I will never find love like I had with him.  I worry that I will compare future partners to him.
I'm afraid of facing a world without him in it.  I feel so sad for him.
I don't really have a question.  I could really use some words of encouragement or advice from someone who has been through something similar.[/quote]
