I was truthful from the start as I need a stick to aid me walking. I believe honesty is paramount. I've been with my now fiance over 2yrs. My ex husband walked out on me after a 26yr marriage. I was alone for 3yrs before I met my fiance. Life was very hard no one to help me. Now our wedding is planned for this yr or next

@LindaBlacker Thank you for sharing your experience! And congratulations on your upcoming wedding! 🌸
Before you started a relationship with your current partner, how did your then-new acquaintances react when you told them about your condition? Did you have any good/bad surprises?

Hello everyone,
How are you today?
When you're entering into a new relationship with someone - be it romantic or platonic - when is the best time to talk about your illness? Do you bring it up straight away? Do you wait? How do you go about it?
