Relationships and Dating

[heycrystal2052 430]

Good morning, all!

When I began my initial research on getting the Sleeve, I read many stories where relationships failed. I swore I "we" wouldn't be one of them, but it happened. Later seeing it was the BEST thing done, other than the surgery. I began to wonder how often that really happens. Who I was when I met my ex, is nothing compared to who I am now. I was dead within and allowed myself to settle for many things and that included a very broken and unhealthy relationship, goodness. We both were very morbidly obese and when I began to desire more for myself and my health, he started to resent and even attempted to sabotage my successes. After my surgery, he "supported" me, but really didn't if that makes sense. Four years, was evaporated over several months.

Almost two years later, I'm the happiest I've been in many years. Dating, how have you all adjusted to that (if, you're a single person)? I'm dating a very wonderful man, one who even as post-op supports me 100%. I'm getting the breast lift and reduction soon, and w/ explaining my want and need for it, he's supportive w/out trying to talk me out of doing what he feels is already perfect. How do you all handle going out to eat? Do you all feel an insecurity, that only our community can understand?

How does this all work? lol
