If you were just starting a relationship with someone and they told you?

after a couple of dates that they have a serious illness, cancer or something like that would you break up with them to avoid the heartache of losing them?

    No way. It will hurt regardless, and you will feel even worse for dumping someone who is sick! Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. And love transends life.

    No, I would continue with the relationship and not let the disease dictate how we feel about each other. If for some reason the relationship didn't last, I would still try and be the most supportive friend I could be.

    Most definatly not, you cant break up with someone because they have an illness. If you had a reason like you just dont like them like that then yea break up with them. Any relationship can go right if the two involved really care about each other. Thats definatly not a good reason to break up.

    no, because it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all!! Old saying but true. Love can fill a lifetime , it makes no difference how long your true love is. If it is true love....TRUE TRUE love...then even when the person dies...your love never will!!!

    That is why it hurts so bad to see someone you love die......your mind has to keep telling your heart that the relationship is over!!! Love always stays with you, when it is the real thing!!

    Yes, because what about your goals and future?

    I would still want to remain in a supportive role, because if you wanted to date someone, you saw something in them that was special.

    Nope... I would take each step at a time, if I started falling for them I would want to stay with them even more......... they might lose me, I might be dying and not even know it
