My Daughter Doesn’t Understand Why I Not Super In To Dating
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am not as enthusiastic about dating now.i developed epilepsy from a traumatic brain injury from a ex partner. I only had one relationship since then it ended badly. I don’t know if it’s ptsd or the traumatic brain injury that is the root of the problem.I seem to have a hard time connecting on that area anymore.she wants me to find a wife.

You are not the only one, after being disregarded and treated constantly like I am less than human by men, I am starting to think your daughter is right. Its funny, I still luv my Dad my brother and my son, but I am definitely losing interest in being treated like crap by them in casual non committal relationships. Good luck Pamela.

lol they both have different issues in relationships but I’m physically attracted to females.but I have to fix my heart problems first.nothing to do with who is easier to be with honestly.any one familiar with lgbtq community understand that it takes longer to find a good match for ever even our laughable dating sites full of catfish and people wanting a third.small towns also add issues.ex girlfriend drove 990 miles to meet me and lasted only 2years and I was still able to manage my health problems well enough to keep a job. I had to end the relationship when she got so involved in drinking that she was not able to digest anything and still continue to drink she also damaged my walls and messed my door up had to fix most of the damage never hit me or my child but was not wanting to risk it.the few men I was with before I came out was not very good to me ether but at least I had ooohhs with my ex girlfriends lol right now I’m just just trying to get as healthy as I can before even considering relationships not fair to ask anyone to have to take care of my problems I’m not expecting 100% health even if I continue having seizures that is not my only health problem.and I could consider dating even if I can get the other stuff under control.besides as selfish as it sounds it is nice to have my room to ex cape to when I get tired of being watched it’s my fortress of solitude no one bugs me in here my kid free people free zone just me and my music or my boards or my stardew valley any where else I’m all ways in some body sight I can’t even take a soak in the tub with out having my door open because people are scared I might have a seizure and drown
