Would you begin a relationship with a man whom you could find yourself falling for if you just found out that he has a terminal illness?

The act of falling in love is one that doesn't ask your permission. It just happens. You can't control it.

You can't stop it. And why would you want to? The greatest gift we have been given is the ability to love and devote ourselves to another person.

If I found myself falling in love with someone who was diagnosed with a terminal illness, I would just cherish them that much more. Knowing my time would be limited, I surely wouldn't waste it. I would embrace and cherish every moment I was given with them.It would be a gift.

And I would give myself to them, and enjoy the love we had for as long as I could. To walk away from them would be denying both of us what could potentially be the grandest times of our lives. Of course losing them would hurt, of course we would grieve.

But in the end, I would have a part of them. They would continue to live in my heart. Think about your current relationship.

Were there hard times? Were there moments you thought you'd never make it through? Did you have to fight for your relationship?

What obstacles did you have to overcome to enjoy the love you have today? Now ask yourself if you had to do it over again, would you? I can say that I would.

I would go through every tearful or hurtful moment if it meant that I could share the love we have. Everyone knows the saying " Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all". I believe that to be true.

If I could only have one year with them, I would rather have that, than to have never had their love at all. "Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the number of moments that take our breathe away" ~ Anonymous.

If you don't like loosing people then I would say don't do it but if you are falling in love with this person then tell that person how you feel then be with him.

If I met a man and begin to fall in love with him and I found out that he has a terminal illness, I will still continue to love him. I think it would be unfair for him that I will hold back this feeling I felt just because I know that he is going to leave me sooner or later. If I truly love him, I will tell him so and I will not be afraid to be left behind.My greatest fear would not be able to tell him how much I love him and that I will not be able to spend more time with him.

Although I am aware that I will be hurt by loving him, I will do this out of my love for him. I want him to be happy and for us to have a quality time together. We may not be together for a long time but the short time spent with him and caring for him will be enough to last me a lifetime.

I am going to cherish those memories that we have together.

Yes, I would. The one thing in life that most people regret are things that they did not do. If you turn away from him, you will always wonder what your relationship could have been like.

A cure may be found that could prolong your time together. I believe that we all should behave as if we have a terminal illness- we never know when we are going to die. The person who went to the corner store and never made it back home, the people who are the victim of a crime, freak accidents - all of these things (and more) take us in the blink of an eye.

I would give it a chance - you cannot tell your heart what to do. You heart tell you what you should do.

Yes, I think I would. I very rarely fall in love with someone, and the chance to find happiness and love is very precious to me. I would rather have a short moment with someone with whom I can enjoy relationship with and share the joy and happiness of loving each other than not having this chance at all in life.

I would definitely draw the line at having a child with him, though. I don’t think I can raise a kid without his or her father, and it’s definitely unfair to the kid.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
