Relationships

Two years ago I ended a long term relationship with a man who became
afraid of me physically after I was diagnosed with Hep C. Now I want
someone in my life again but I'm afraid of the same thing happening.
The only date I have been on was the other night and the guy got all
freaked out when I brought up the topic. I'm pretty much at peace
with the illness and it's part in my life except where a relationship
is concerned. My close friends don't understand when I try to talk to
them and the one's with the illness are married. I'm feeling real
isolated and alone. Can any of you relate to this. I have read alot
of the e-mails from this group but they are mostly dealing with the
medical end. We with this illness will still face the aftermath of
the intial knowledge of the who, what, where, hows, and whens. I
still want a full life dispite this thing.
