Why is my boyfriend so distant?

Sweeeeeeeeeet said:
No. I didn't know myself when he texted me we're over earlier today. I did the pregnancy test after. If he's THIS broken up about the diabetes, I seriously doubt he can handle a child. I don't know what I'm going to do, quite frankly. I need to clear my head.

I agree ..... you have some things to think over.
 
Hi Sweeeeetn, firstly congrats on the baby front, also that's the thing men just don't men up when they should do except a few of us, but don't worry you have us lot here to help and guide you on your newly found diabetes, you'll be absolutely fine.

Sorry about the boyfriend situation, but as you say "no use in crying over spilt milk".
What you need to do is get your head round the fact of your D diagnosis and how to cope with it and find a new partner who can look beyond the D and see you for the real person that you are and love that person.
Good luck with the adventure of finding that lucky guy:happy:

You know, it's funny how I was so worried about confronting him; I didn't have anything to worry about. I was right about not pushing the subject with him. And I gave him time to come to terms with it and now I have my answer. I didn't even have to ask him. He came right out and told me. He said he didn't think he was strong enough to handle something so big. And he dumped me. (Not in so many words.) But the reality of it is...he's gone. After 5 long years; he's gone. Just like that. I still think he's a wonderful person. Just not wonderful for me. Oh, well. Good thing I have so many other things going for me right now (like getting used to a whole new lifestyle) or I'd be really upset. Oh, well.

Hi, just read this and I am so sorry you have been dumped, well, I wont say what I would like to regarding your now ex :mad: but it's his loss. I just cant believe a person would do that, sad :(
You have enough to be going on with, taking care of yourself and your diabetes is the most important thing right now.
Look after yourself and you never know, one day a nice guy may come along, love you for who you are and see diabetes as just a small part of your life. There is so much more to us than diabetes :)
Good luck and all the best X
 
So did you plan this baby? Obviously he didn't, but did you?

I am a woman, many years ago I had a boyfriend who was epileptic. I left him because I didn't want the hassle. I obviously didn't really love him, so we were better off without each other. I think you will find this is the case with you too.
 
My granny was diagnosed type 1 63 years ago at age 19 she went on to have 4 sons, two of which were twins.
My granny's sister who doesn't have diabetes couldn't have children.

So diabetes doesn't mean you can't have children.
And with a change of diet an the insulin/medication available these days, you can still have a Normal Long Heath Life
