I would give anything to marry her when the time is right but really, I can't even talk about linking our relationship to her disease without fear of risking her life, or our relationship. Because of that disease she needed a double lung transplant. Because of that transplant she needs drugs that only a government can afford and thank the LORD ABOVE they pay for them. Thing is, if they find out we're in a relationship while living together she will lose her access to the government subsidy that pays for her life. We can never marry, less on her death bed. What a bitter sweet pile of [expletive] that will be but do you not do it KNOWING she will die practically straight after?
Imagine NEVER being able to marry because you will die if you do.
The best I can offer her is engagement but if she ever has to visit the government over her disease she HAS to remember to take that ring off or it will kill her ... literally.
We can't have kids ever either. An over-zealous surgeon saw to that. Our chances at surrogacy took a battering along with the gays as well. Will they give someone with a terminal illness a chance? They won't with adoption. They'll let a junkie destroy their off-spring before giving us a chance at loving that kid and giving it a decent life.
I'm annoyed beyond all measure of being annoyed about this, but what do you do? I don't have any answers other than there are people from ALL parts of society copping a shafting from the government as well, not just the rainbow community.
