Has anyone ever had trouble finding a partner because of their disability? I feel like every potential partner since I've been diagnosed (9ish years) has ghosted or lost interest when I tell them about my diagnosis and it's not exactly easy to hide as I'm unable to work and one of the first questions someone asks when getting to know each other is "what do you do for work" and every time I have to tell them I can't then they question why and I have to explain it's frustrating I want to feel like I'm more than my diagnosis but it's so hard when this has gone on for almost a decade I feel like I'm the problem I just want a chance to mesh with someone but when you basically have to tell them "yeah it's possible I may not be able to take care of myself one day so you will have to do it" it's a bit much and I get that but 99% of the time it doesn't even get to that point people don't ask questions or for clarification they just ghost or lose interest and to make matters worse at my most recent nuero appointment (less than a month) they told me that I may have been misdiagnosed due to all the flares ive had with no lesions on my brain or spine but everything else is there going so far as to take me off my dimethyl fumarate which makes me freak out even more like what if I have something worse? How do I tell someone "will I don't work because I'm disabled but I don't know what's wrong" I know I'm not that old I'm only a 36 yo male but whatever is wrong makes me feel old beyond my years and i feel like time is running out i have a daughter she's 13 and I wanted more children but unfortunately I feel like I'm losing the chance day by day if I haven't already I'm just sad and lonely at this point and just want to know that there's some kind of hope I've even gone as far as trying to date specifically doctors and nurses (that probably makes me weird or creepy) thinking they would understand but still nothing I just don't know what to do should I change my traffic or something? Could it be my personality? I just feel that it always falls apart around the time i have to explain my disability does anyone have any advice or has anyone experienced this?
