I am new to this forum and have read a lot of posts as it is a revelation to me to see just how many emotions there are in deciding or trying to decide re the CF issue. Reading the thread of this post has made me realise just how fortunate I was in that I never ever doubted my decision to be CF and that I also found a life partner who agreed with my decision wholeheartedly. I really feel so sorry for the turmoil of emotions you guys are going through, outside pressure is bad enough when you are 100% happy with your decision! it must be more so when you are trying to get your head round it yourself. I am so happy to have found this forum as I now know I am not as unusual as I thought, but having read the words of wisdom provided in this thread(well done guys)I feel it is worth its weight in gold if it can help anyone facing these problems as they are unlikely to get the prospective from the CF side anywhere else!! I only hope you will be able to come to a decision that makes YOU happy as trust me lifes way too short to live for OTHER people. Sending you all a virtual hug :)
