Endings #4: Breakups (and dating) with Chronic Illness
March 20th
On this episode of Love Bites, Jacqueline interviews two anonymous guests about their experiences dating with chronic illness and breaking up with someone with chronic illness. Exploring the details of dating with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Interstitial Cystitis, they discuss dating with food restrictions, chronic pain, and communicating an invisible chronic illness.
How does having a chronic illness change the way people can be seen romantically? Is breaking up with someone because of chronic illness fair? And what can we learn about dating in the future from rough breakups of the past?
Today, two singular stories shed some insight.
