Re: How has incontinence impacted on your wife / partner.

I have never been married, but both my ex girlfriend and my current future girlfriend(relationship is pending recovery from her depression, but we are still attracted to each other) have been very supportive. It breaks my heart to read of those who lost loved ones over this. That is so shallow. I did talk to a woman who accepted the fact that I was incontinent but did not want to pursue a relationship due to the fact that I suffer from depression, despite it being well controlled. Even though I was disappointed, I understood. My ex was in the throes of depression while we were dating and it definitely put a strain on our relationship, but its not why I ended it, it was due to religious differences. So not pursuing someone because they have mental health concerns I can more or less understand(though I would NEVER exclude someone from at least consideration because of that), but a condition such as incontinence that is more inconvenient than impacting health..leaving someone for that is just darn shallow. stealthheli, my heart goes out to you. Did your now ex give a reason why your incontinence was such a problem for her? The truth is, if incontinence was an issue I seriously doubt she should have kids, because diapers come with that job..but the babies cant help it, neither can incontinent adults. I would understand if someone ended a relationship if the person did not wear diapers for legitimate medical need, if they were an AB/DL, but if there were a legitimate need.. there's NO excuse!!
