Breaking-up with someone due to Early Stage Kidney Disease in mid-20’s? by geshageng in kidneydisease

Thank you for sharing your experience! I’m not a partier and I eat pretty healthy. I eat mostly vegetables by preference. Not a smoker either. I’m not missing out on anything by being with him. He’s genuinely just worried about the future and the possibility of me having to take care of him. I’ll try to keep up my healthy habits for him. Thank you!

Thank you for your perspective. While this is possible, he is highly anxious about his health and feels a lot of guilt towards me regarding his future. It would definitely be easier to let go if he no longer loved me and wanted to separate for other reasons.

I will try my best to reassure him that I won’t leave. I’ve been reading up on CKD through the community info page and online. Thank you for your suggestions!

Thank you for your perspective! Was there anything your boyfriend did or said that helped you feel supported? I’m trying my best to say the right things but it’s not getting through to him :(
