Tolerance
Tolerance Tolerance After 28 years, I have learned that it's not about Love, or togetherness, or 'opposites attract' or any of that nonsense. First and foremost, it's about what you can tolerate. What seemed cute when you were dating becomes not so cute after a while when you're married and the 'new' wears off. Secondly, you have to be friends. No exceptions. Finally, if he's not interested in learning about your illness and supporting you, don't bother. He will just make your issues worse that will send you into a tailspin. __________________  You're only given one little spark of madness.

Tolerance x 100
not ''just'' telling things ''how they are''.. Honesty without compassion is brutality. Papa bear doesn't have a mean bone in his body. Also, feelings are not always facts, he is intelligent enough to have an intellectual conversation with me and doesn't simply spit out bs for example ''calling a spade a spade''   I agree, if the person is not interested in learning about our illness, and being supportive, then forget it. They are not relationship material (or friend material either)
