My boyfriend of 2 years developed a skin disease. Should I dump him?
You definately shouldn’t date someone out of pity. But you should question your loyalty. What about if it was you that had a skin problem how would you feel if dude just up and left you? I guess your feelings for him were only superficial if you are ready to give up on him like that you might aswell go ahead and do it. Love is definately not in the equation, because love is not ashamed. So you should really let him know how u feel, dragging him along would just be the worst thing you can do, just set him free and if you just let him know that you are not strong enough to handle the situation, he might feel crushed in the beginning but if he really loves you ( not the kind of love that you are showing at the moment) then he will understand.
I cannot see one single thing wrong with this question. Lots of people rate physical attraction very highly when they’re in a relationship. If you don’t want to be with him, you should break up with him. Skin disorder or not. If you’d just got sick to death of the sight of him and he didn’t have a skin disorder would you feel torn? Well I don’t see this as being any different. You don’t have to stay with someone to make them feel better about themselves. Never get caught in that trap. You aren’t his self esteem. If he’s struggling with this skin thing that’s very sad, and I do feel sorry for him as I know I’d just hate to have something like this. But you can’t be expected to live your life around him if he’s (obviously) not the love of your life.
That is so sad. If you dump him, he will never ever forget you, will be more depressed, and will probably hate you and think you’re really shallow but he’ll eventually understand. Since you’re just staying with him out of pity, you should end it easy on him. Let him know that you still care about him and will still be friends.
If your concern over what he looks like rather than the kind of person he is and your relationship is with him, dump him by all means. He needs a supportive girlfriend, not someone who only cares about what he looks like. I’d hate someone staying with me because I had a physical problem and felt ashamed of it. Move the H on…..
