Hello. I am in a fairly new relationship, and I believe that God has put us together. We share similar ideals and values, and he's overall a great guy, with some issues (But who doesn't have issues? Am I right?). We are already saying "I love you", and I feel it genuinely. It's odd for me to get so attached so quickly, but I feel like there was definitely some divine intervention at play here. When I met him, I was praying for strength to move on and - if I was not to be with the guy I was in love with - that God show me someone else, someone I was meant to be with. And I met him. He's sweet, respectful, Christian, and so much more. But here's the problem. I'm a Pre-Med student, which is great. Medicine is my passion, and I've wanted to be a surgeon/doctor for nearly a decade. It's been the one thing I was sure of in life. However, and I don't know how familiar you all will be with this, he has a disease called cystic fibrosis, and his doctors estimate that he only has about ten years left. So, do the math... I'll be in school the whole time, dedicated to long hours of studying, without much time for "us". So, he's asked that I consider other career possibilities (i.e., PA). I came up with the idea to be a nurse, but giving up my dream is still a bit unsettling to me. I do love him and want to spend as much time with him as possible. So, if it was you, what would you do? I've been praying, and I think I've made my decision (Be a nurse...), but I just want some additional feedback. Thanks!
