Managing Crohns in a Relationship

As someone with Crohns or IBD, how do you manage to hold down a solid relationship? From my experience, it's really difficult. Often times I've found myself in a breakup because my condition was too much for someone else to handle, especially long term.

I agree being honest right away. If someone isn’t willing to learn or accept you for you then they are not worth the time and energy! It definitely is harder to date when you have a chronic illness and finding someone who understands. It’ll take time but one day you will be able to find the right one!

I am always open and forthright about my condition. I have been married for a couple years and have the absolute best husband. He is super understanding and supportive regarding my health conditions has never made me feel bad about them before. There are people out there who will you accept and support you exactly as you are. Our health is out of our control and it’s important to find a partner who understands that. Sending love 😌❤️
