Thank you, I have been trying to sort out my feelings. I have always been the responsible one, the caretaker in my family and to take care of others is my natural instinct. I know he will need friends, I won't give up on him if I can bear it. It's just so cruel for us to find each other and to have this happen.

Hi brill ignore,
Read all you can about ALS, what it does, what your boyfriend will go through. And look into your own heart. If you want to be with him out of misguided sympathy or quilt. Pity whatever then you have your answer. But remember all of us needs friends don't give up that part
