I am sorry that this is happening to you. This was were my boyfriend and I were a year ago. I was diagnosed with UC 2.5 years ago (which also coincides with when we first started dating). Anyway, after a year and a half I had a really awful flare up that lasted about 6 mos. My bf was very supportive throughout, however those 6 mos. were very difficult for both of us. I was kind of retreating into myself and I was very scared to go out b/c I was having D all of the time. Finally my GI switched meds and things got back on track but it took a while to rebuild our relationship. I realized that part of the problem was that I was so scared by how sick I had become (after a year and a half of being semi-well) that I didn't know how to handle it and our relationship. I'm happy to say that we were able to work things out and he proposed last summer, we're getting married in July/07.
I just wanted to tell you my story so that even if things don't work out with Adrian that there will be someone out there who will love for you, when you're sick and when you're well. Take care Steph, Jenn
