I went out of town to New Orleans for 4th of July weekend. I left on Thursday and came back on Monday morning. During my trip, my Virgo called me reguarly and at times resistred when I would try to get off of the phone with him. Yesterday when I got back, him and I spent the day together. We ran errands and went grocery shopping for me. He was really affectionate in public and very protective of me. Once again, the chemistry was crazy! It felt as if we have been together for years. He had me lughing hysterically the whole day. We met up around 11AM when my flight landed and did not part ways until about 10PM. He implied that he wanted to spend the nite, but I did not push it b/c I knew I had to go to work the next morning. During dinner, he told me that 4 years ago, he was diagnosed with the early stages of Parkinson??s and he is taking light medication for it right now. He said that he went to the doctors about 3 mos ago and they it had not progressed since he was diagnosed. But this made me really sad and scared for him. I wanted to cry. He seemed so vulnerable when we were talking about it. He said that some women who he has dated have a problem with it. I assured him that I did not.

Natural,

Sorry to hear this....and I too am glad he has people that care in his life. Its okay to vent, its not like you are giving out his name or anything like that. I am sure the news surprised you...
I hope things keep on being strong for both of you together and individually inspite of this challenge in his life, sometimes it is through those times that something beautiful and new can break through and grow within us and others.

Thank you all for your kind words. Yes, it did surprise me. I did not know how to react. But it sure gave me a new found respect for him. It appears that he has accepted his diagnosis with class and strength. Now I just have to do the same. I know it will be hard...but I am willing to stick in there and see what happens. But it is still scary.

Does anyone know anyone with this condition?

That is so sweet for you to stick with him. Of course, you are a scorpio and we, scorpios, stick to our men like chewing gum.
At least, I do.
I just hope you were honest about the fact that this health concern does not bother you.
Thus far, he has not experienced any major symptoms yet BUT as a person who has witnessed this awful degenerative disease, I do hope that you inform yourself very well and that you are ready to face the possible upcoming challenges.

Best of luck to both of you.



I have started doing some research on this condition. Do you have any light that you can shed?

Thank you. Him sharing this information - displaying his strength and his vunerability actually made me respect him more and made me more attracted to him.

Hikoro,

My desire to have chidlren is not to have a pet. I already have a dog. Lol. And I am sure that he would say the same.

I understand the severity of Parkinson's. However, I have decided (as of right now) to take it day be day. We might break up next week or might get married. Who knows. I have decided to pray and allow the Lord to lead me in the right direction. I greatly appreciate your concern and agree with you that this condition is something that is very serious and that I should think long and hard about.

I spoke with my fahter about this situation last night and he made a very good point. He said IF me and this man were to get married and start a family anything could happen. I could get sick wtih something (God forbid) before Parkinson's even becomes an issue with him and HE will have to take care of me. Like Brad Pitt says in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, "there are no rules to life". Nothing is defintie. Again, this is an issue that should be taken seriously and that should be thought out every step of the way and I realize that. But I guess I am not ready to give up on this man....not just yet. 🙂

Thank you again for your concern, support and comment. It is greatly appreciated. I will defintely use you as a resource as I have more questions and concerns as time progresses.

What's the odds of him passing that onto your children?

relationships are hard as it is then to deal with that...



Accoridng to the research that i have done, the chances are 5% or less.

Yes, relationships are very hard....and IF him and I do get married this will defintiely put an added stress on our relationship. However, I want to remind everyone that i have been dating this man for a MONTH. Although I hope that things do work out, there really is no telling what is in our future.

So I am starting to over think things again! My Virgo and I have been spending a lot of time together. Or atleast whatI think to be a lot of time . We spent all day Monday together and he came over last night and spent the night. we went grocery shopping yesterday and I cooked, we watched a movie and went to bed. He invited me to go with him to his friend's bday party on Saturday night. This is all very good. I really enjoy spending time with him. I really like him. But I am also a little scared and nervous about this. I am fearful that things will get old quickly b/c we are spending so much time with one another so soon. I have never dated a man who has showed this much interest and wanted to spend this much time together so quickly. So, this all makes me paranoid. I know that I should not over think it. But sometimes I canot help it b/c I really do like him and I do not want something bad to happen.

I guess my question is do Virgo men typically move this quickly? Should I be concerned about things gettimg old or stale?
