My questions is how many of you are married or in serious committed relationships and also how do you keep your relationship or marriage strong along with dealing with you or your spouses epilepsy. This is very important to me because I met a wonderful guy online who has epilepsy and we tried to bond and see if we could get closer and have a relationship. I thought that we would be a regular couple like everyone else "we" just have this condition called epilepsy that we have to deal with from time to time.Unfortunately he had led a very sheltered and dominate life from his parents and family and because he has had it since birth (we are both in our 50's) he was raised as if he was retarded always told what he could'nt do no encouragement or affection.

I love him dearly and we are still best friends and I miss what we had. But he saw my encouragement as being bossy and pushy because I wanted him to know there's a whole world out there that he's letting get by him without trying to shed all the hurts and pains from his childhood. Has anyone been through this and how did you deal with it? I've tried to let go of him but can't he will always be very special to me forever. All comments welcome.
