[QUOTE="dee-uk, post: 47959, member: 1074"] Hi All, I recently split with a long term girlfriend and is it just me? or is very hard to keep a relationship going with a non-diabetic person? I have noticed that I can be very terribly irritable and snap during moments of stress and highs and lows etc - and even though i've tried to explained how difficult it can be to my other half(s) after a period of time it wears them down - at the end of the day it must feel like it's pointed at them, I feel terrible about it of course and is unfair to them, but at the same time isn't it unfair for me too? I try and keep my levels in line but now and again it still happens. I find sometimes my attention is all on me because at the end of the day no one can manage my condition except me - and this gets in the way too, i've found at times i've not looked after myself properly because I have been to busy caring and making sure my other half is happy. I've never dated someone with diabetes before I sometimes think that maybe I should. Rant over anyway, all the best ;-) x Ed (dee) [/QUOTE]
