content: Should my life partner have epilepsy or do I run? I've been dating a wonderful girl who is sweet, honest, beautiful, and has never felt the touch of another man. My reservations are that she has the genetic disease of epilepsy and more than a dozen times a week will have seizures of varying extremity. One time the convulsions were so bad she broke bones. Epileptics have a lower average lifespan and there's a 9% chance the disorder will be passed onto one of our hypothetical children. She can't work, she can't drive, and she can never live far from doctors and hospitals, which throws a wrench in my plans to move to the country. On the other hand, I'm Christian (so is she) and I believe that when we're both dead we can live together forever with my girlfriend in perfect health. I'm at a stage of the relationship where leaving is still an option. If I must make the decision of leaving, then I don't want to delay. I'd hate to make a woman so pure and innocent suffer any more than she already has. Thanks for reading!
