I have met someone with M.E, he is lovely, very kind, clever and my sort of man. We've only known each other a couple of months, we're not in a relationship and we're taking it slowly.
I am a fiercely independent single mum having had several relationships with useless and needy men. Been single for 4 years and not in a rush to start anything. I think at this stage in my life I have become pretty good at sorting out the wheat from the chaff menwise but this one throws me.
He has not worked for about 5 years but has very active hobbies and does a lot of diy.
I feel like I'm being selfish if I reject him for having M.E but I was really hoping this time around to find someone who is capable of looking after me (not that I need looking after) I'm not sure what the reality of living with someone with this condition would be like.
Would this put you off?
