Just had a bomb dropped on me (not literally)
12 years ago
So I met this guy online. We're talking for about a week. He's amazing. SO amazing. Sweet, funny, similar likes/dislikes (but not exact, which is good), and shares my passion for music. Personality wise, this guy is perfect. No bullshit. P E R F E C T. While we were chatting we were constantly making each other laugh, blush, and get butterflies. I've never felt this way so strongly so quickly about anyone, ever. I'd never even met a GUY that I wanted a relationship with.
The thing is, I'd never seen what he looks like in real life. He is a bit shy, and told me he'd send me a pic once he gets over his shyness. No biggie, right?
Of course it had crossed my mind that he's secretly super fat or whatever and trying to hide it, but at this point I was falling for him so hard that I don't think I would have cared.
Then tonight, we were chatting about making plans to meet up. He gets really quiet, and asks to go on voice chat. Okay, cool, why not?
So we start talking, and there's something about his voice that seems... abnormal. Not like an accent sort of thing, I couldn't figure it out.
Then he tells me. He has Spinal Muscular Atrophy. He's 23, and has been living with SMA - a birth defect that KILLS most sufferers in infancy - his whole life. He's bedridden and has been for the entire 23 years of his existence. He's completely dependent on his parents. (He had told me before that he lives at home, but that's actually pretty normal for people in Europe to spend longer living with their parents, so that didn't seem weird at all to me.)
I cried. I mean, broke down. I haven't cried in 7 fucking years and I was a mess.
It wasn't even because I saw this perfect relationship suddenly being shattered. Not one bit. I cried so hard because I felt so bad that I had to tell this amazing human being that I don't think I could handle that.
God damn, I choked up a little bit just in typing that out.
The only thing that this incredible person could say was how sorry he was that he didn't tell me sooner, that he was worried about me hating him for not saying something before things got to this point, and the only reason he didn't tell me earlier was that we had something *so good* going that he didn't want it to end.
I can't say I blame him.
