Hi, anita.
I don’t know about future. But right now I don’t want to be in a relationship with him or anyone else yet. I would like to be single for a while at least for few months.
I asked him so we are not going to see each other again? He said he didn’t say that. And I said that I am worry about you living in a solitary life. He said that I will let you know about the process.
He also said that he didn’t want to give me false hope because the recovery might take a long time. And he was afraid that his condition would make him incapable of love for the rest of his life. His doctor told him if he only had one big source of stress, ie career, he could manage to succeed. But when it comes to relationship, it’s tricky. Because some people like him do end up alone due to the stress from marriage and family life.
