[quote=Anonymous]How old are you OP? do you want kids? I faced a similar issue in my mid-20s, I dated someone who was undergoing testing for a terminal illness. In the case of my then boyfriend (and now husband) the disease would have killed him slowly over 20+ years and he would have been debilitated for most of that time and needed a lot of care. He ended up not having the disease, but if he had, I would not have stayed with him. Your situation is different since (for better or for worse) your boyfriend is unlikely to slowly decide over a decade or more. Whether to stay with him depends on so many things -- how you feel about him, your age and whether you want kids, what kind of family support you both have. Is there a therapist you can talk to to sort some of this through? Also, remember you can support him as a friend even if you don't end up staying together. [/quote]
