[QUOTE="Dudette1, post: 2311376, member: 506427"] Just wondered how people feel when it comes to telling someone they have this condition, has anyone hidden it when they have met someone and only later told them after they tried to eat a full pack of Pringles with you. I’m a really confident person and went on a date recently, we of course talked about Covid, but he started ranting that fat people with diabetes are the ones at risk. I never corrected him nor told him I have it because he was so clearly uneducated about the myth of fat people as he calls us. I was howling with laughter in my head. Safe to say I didn’t call him again. In this day and age people judge you regardless, the thing that makes me awkward is eating say a salad while they have a big dinner with loads of mash and carbs and I’m trying to b careful, and all you hear is oh get some proper food down ya. I don’t think it’s so much telling someone I’m diabetic, more maybe the feeling I can’t enjoy something I love with a person, like excessive amounts of mash (the one thing I love in this world ha! ) I’ve been single 3yrs and I don’t know if my condition makes me not want to find love.sorry if I sound miserable, just wondered if anyone wants to share their stories good or bad of experiences with a ex partner or their now partners and how they reacted when told.
