I have a new arch nemisis. Glandular Fever.

My girlfriend has had it for the past couple of months. I have done my best to stand by her, help her through, try and keeep her spirits up etc. The fever however has stopped us from doing 'couply' things, however, such as visiting the cinema, kissing, sex etc.Over the past few months I have been more a friend than a full time boyfriend. Now, she is getting better, but she has gotten so used to us being more friends than a couple that she is not sure if she still wants to be my girlfriend. Sucker punch. Isn't life just great sometimes?

Anyone else had their life messed up horribly by an illness?

That sucks man, but remember that there are billions of girls in the world...

And I know it's hard to accept in this age group, but they're not everything.

No, death doesn't "horribly mess up" my life.

I've known people (some close) who have died from illness, but it's never messed up my life terribly.

'Plenty more fish in the sea', but the thing is i don't need another fish. I have fished all I want, and I love the fish I have. I love my dear Lyndsey, but the fever has messed with her mind. Ah we are 'on a break' right now, but we are going to the cinema on mon, we will hopefully sort things out.

Uh, Obbi, in case you didn't read the whole post, she's not dying.

I did, I know.

I'll copy+paste what I aimed to him:

MegaBandNerd: To explain, my response wasn't to say that I thought your girlfriend died.
MegaBandNerd: I was merely saying that the times I have had others I know become ill, the only time it's effected me is when they die.
MegaBandNerd: And it sometimes effects me strongly.
MegaBandNerd: It changes your life, but it doesn't mess it up.
MegaBandNerd: All it does is change your expectations.
MegaBandNerd: It gave you something when you expected different.
