I would be such a different life style than most of us know. Could you do it?

If I loved them and that was the way the relationship was going I don't think the terminal disease aspect would alter the plans, naturally it'd be harder than most and perhaps you're making a commitment to the person and his/her illness rather than a commitment to love. Would you marry someone who had a terminal disease on the basis of you knowing that was what they wanted?

I don't necessarily ever want to get married, but would I have/start a relationship with someone who had a terminal illness? I can't see why not...it may not be enduring over years and years, but I've never thought that a relationship should be measured by its length in time, and only by its quality. Imagine what I could lose out on by deciding at the onset that "I can't deal with this", etc.
