You've been invited to Florida for a week with a beautiful, intelligent woman, but you're too ill to go because of a long term progressive illness - how do you go about breaking it to her? :(( X|
Greg, be honest and keep it simple. I moved here about a year ago and the first real friend I made here has aggresive MS. When we met we got on really well and then she told me about the illness. I accepted that and she is my best friend. At the moment I have to be careful travelling because of ME, which at least I can sort out but I have had to call off several things. Instead of making excuses I've told people and they have accepted it. Good luck *hugs* Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Aw hun. Big hugs for both you and your friend. Although I don't know much about ME, I know how awful MS can be. :(( Anna :rose: Homepage | My life in tears "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

I'd say be honest with her, honesty is the only way to go IMO. If you don't want to tell her that you have a long term illness so that she won't worry about you, just tell her that you're sick, but make sure you let her know that you really wanted to go on the vacation with her. Get well soon man! (I hope this is appropriate:~ ) Brad Jennings "You're mom is nice. Mind if I go out with her?" - Jörgen Sigvardsson

just to be contrary... tell her you're in the CIA and you have a mission abroad that week.

The answer depends on whether this is someone you have sex with (or planned on having sex with in Florida). If she is, then get her to come take care of you (in both senses of the word). If not, then you've lost nothing except a few days in the Florida humidity. --Mike-- Eh! Steve! Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber "You have Erica on the brain" - Jon Sagara to me

Honest is good:) Unfortunately my illness means that after the flight, or doing anything holiday-like that involves effort, I would have to rest for 24 hours, usually screaming in pain. I find that tends to put people off:rolleyes: They also don't understand that it doesn't really bother me, so it's not as bad as it looks, as I'm "used to it" from an emotional point of view.

Good luck to you. Yes, Honest is Good, and if it is not, nothing would have been. :rose:
