It's a torture to them. And for generations, your offsprings will have diabetes.
Unless my love for my bf is "Till death parts us" type and I can't live without him, I will definitely reconsider the relationship."
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. However, you will go this path alone, none of the forummers or your friends even family member will be there to help you with (for example) the medical cost involve etc. Prolly they will lend you an ear to listen to your problem and thats about it. You know lah, when it comes to money people are selfish in general.
Imagine if your hubby is just an average earner, what about if his illness getting worse? And later on when you have kids what about if your kids also got it? So, all family members got it? you know diabetes in kids can be so terrible. They will keep on scratching until the skin all comes out, and you will incure lots of skin consultation cost.
More importantly you are making a big sacrifice for him, are you sure he is the type of guy that will cherish you and treasure you and stand up for you in front of his friends and family? Someone that will be there for you too through thick and thin?
If you are sure he is worth of your love that much and ideally if he is more than just an average earner, it helps the equation. At the end of the day, trust me, there is no such thing as love is blind. (love is too overated, anyways). Dont be silly, and make your decision just because you dont want to look like the bad guy, coz you are not, you just want to be a prudent customer, know what you buy hehe. Think about all the consequences that you might face in the future.
