Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hello and I sure would like to comment :)I have been married for almost 24 years. I found out I had hep C in 1993 (got married in 1986) and my husband has stood by my side each and every day and I thank you and love you Blue for being my friend! As he says day after day, he married me for better or worse and he has kept his promise. We do not have "safe" sex and to this day, he has not caught HCV from me. I can understand someone being afraid of a terrible disease but if they truely love you, they will die for you or be by your side through your journey. All happens for a reason and their is a reason I have Hep C. I have expressed in the past that I am an alcoholic and if I didn't have Hep C, I would drink, I would think I could handle drinking and driving. But, because I have Hep C, I know the worst thing I could do to myself is drink alcohol (alcohol and our liver are the worst enemies)..and because I have this knowledge, I will not drink alcohol, today (one day at a time) which means I will not be drunk behind the wheel and kill someone and/or myself. I'm sorry for anyone that loses a friend/lover because of this disease, no one deserves a broken heart. But remember, one day, you will say "if it wasn't for my heart being broken then,,,this good thing wouldn't have come into my life today"..I honestly believe that.Love,SheilaFrom: Christ <ludichrist2000@...>WebWarriors grp < >Sent: Fri, January 22, 2010 7:45:18 PMSubject: [ ] HCV and Relationships Hi everybody I have been wondering about the topic...'how has HCV affected a heppers love relationship' , and their future outlook on love? In my case, when I was diagnosed, my lady of many years promptly threw me out the door, and shortly thereafter cut off all contact with me. The excuse first was, 'I dont want to catch HCV', and later it became, 'I dont want to watch you die'. I know several couples right now where one spouce has HCV, and the other doesnt, but they are still together. I know of other couples where the strain of HCV treatment has almost, or has, caused a breakup. So I was wondering how many heppers have lost a spouce, and how many have been true to the words, 'I love you'. I wonder too, if I had been diagnosed with cancer, or some other disease, would the results of a relationship be the same. Does anyone know if there has been any surveys done on this topic. I also am courious about, IF, your relationship failed due to HCV, what you think about trying to find a new love. In my case, Im not too interested because, [1] I dont want to possibly infect another, [2] the ability of someone to understand what HCV means, and [3] I kinda like being alone, and not having to worry about affecting, or being affected by another. Its the old hermit in me. lol Would anyone care to comment? love don in ks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Sheila, I too am an alcoholic and feel God put his foot down and said enough. Now I don't have the fear or choice of drinking again. Which is worse - the alcoholism or the Hep C?The good thing is we can live a much happier life without the alcohol and our families have more stability. Regaining ones self respect isn't a bad trade off. Beswt wishes.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thank you Sheila My post is part of my ongoing address to the other half of HCV....'the dragon in our heads'. We all know quickly enough about the physical effects of HCV to our bodies, but there is a lesser spoken about side too. The mental. Some of the topics I have discovered are: [1] social stigma [2] self imposed stigma and self esteem [3] relationships [4] personal fears and emotions [5] positive vs negative thinking I am very happy that you and your man have been strong enough, and honest enough to ride the wave, as one. Its very important that our minds be at ease, so that we can allow our bodys to heal. love don in ks From: sheila slater <a_nc_female@...>Subject: Re: [ ] HCV and Relationships Cc: esgjr@...Date: Friday, January 22, 2010, 8:04 PM Hello and I sure would like to comment :)I have been married for almost 24 years.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hi Its true that there is a up side to every down side. I used to be pretty negative about having HCV. Each day I find more things to be thankful for.
