Here's a passage I saw on another forum. Though the health problems here are not that significant in that it can be controlled by meds, serious health problems do cause a strain in a relationship both financially and emotionally. How much health risk are you willing to bear in a potential mate? It's more of a concern as one gets older into senior years so if you found your soul mate it can be a big concern 30-40 yrs down the road. How much are you willing to take or sacrifice for your partner?

I was very sick for about two years. I'm starting to feel complete(finally) but my injury is on the surface of my aorta...so it still can be fatal if I mess up in the next couple of years. (no abalone diving for a while....)

I had concerns of major proportions about this. I plan on becoming free from my illness soon but I do think about what if all the time.

This depends completely on how each other feels and the personality of the parties involved.

It would be tough for me to start something with someone that I know has serious health problems. I'm concerned about having to expend time and energy on the health problems rather than on the relationship. If I was already in a loving relationship and a health problem developed then I would stick with it since this person would be very important to me.
