UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO LAND ON MY FEET I HAD STARTED A RELATIONSHIP WITH AN AMAZING GIRL BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND IT WENT PEARSHAPED.

BUT WE HAVE KEPT IN TOUCH AS WE WERE REALLY REALLY GOOD FRIENDS KIND OF LIKE SOULMATES WE THINK.

ANYWAYS SHE SAID SHE WAS WONDERING HOW WE ALL COPE WITH KC I SAID ITS ABOUT FACING THE CHALLENGES IT GIVES US AND DEALING WITH THEM.

I WAS JUST WONDERING DO ANY OF YOU YOUNGER PEOPLE OR OLDER PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH PARTNERS.

BECAUSE WE ARE STARTING A RELATIONSHIP AGAIN.

AND AS WE ARE BOTH YOUNG ANY ADIVCE OR TIPS WOULD HELP.

NOW I CAN STOP SMILING AND BEING RED FACED.

LOL

THANKS

James,
Really chuffed for you and good luck!
Haven't had any KC related problems, my wife, Ginny is very supportive. Difficult to give advice really but the reason Ginny is so supportive is because we have a lot of respect for each other and we both talk and listen with each other.
Hope it goes well for you both.

yeah i was thinking just support eachother well we allready do that.


as we both have heath issues that i wont go into.

but we help each other so much

we talk loads we are caring and well really good for eachother we think.

james

nah it will work out this time we both feel we are ready to handle it more now than we had.

we have become closer more than we were before.

we didnt end it it for good more of a break to try and see what developed.

and it had developed into more than friendship.

thanks for the kind wishes.

Any relationship has its ups and downs and sometimes KC can be a factor. My wife means well wanting to help, but I knwo there will be times when she isn't near and I need to be able to do the siplest of things.

Fact is I know I can vent my frustrations and get it out of my system and she does the same with me as it is hard for her to understand the problems I have.

We think the KC really brought us closer together.

Relationships take a lot of time and hard work! You need to be able to trust each other and listen to your partner as well as being supportive and caring. You also need to be able to back off and give each other some space as well.

You sound like you both know what you want and that is the biggest thing!! Take it slowly and respect each other. You have deepened your friendship in the time apart and now you can enjoy finding out more about each other!!

Best wishes and love Sweet X x X

Make it clear what support or practical assistance you do and don't want, so that she knows exactly what your needs are. Sometimes, with any health issue, the problem can be not knowing what the other person actually wants you to do/not do.

THANKS A LOT FOR THE ADVICE.

ITS JUST WEIRD BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP AGAIN.

WELL ACTUALLY ONEN THAT YOU KNOW IS WORTHWHILE.

AGAIN THANKS A LOT FOR THE HELP.

Excellent news James.

I suspect the break has strengthened your relationship still more.

I am very pleased for you both.
