No Fear Cavalier?

I knew that I was safe. I knew that we hadn't engaged in any risky activities yet. There had been no sex, just cuddling and kissing. Still, my next day at work was full of research and not for any of my clients.

I found discussion boards and articles for "Mixed-Status Couples." (The best one I found is here.) It hit me that I'm part of that population now. Did I really want to be?

I sat at my desk with a printed copy of the email and tried to dissect it and come up with a solution that would work for me. Sure I had an out but was it the right thing to do? If my boyfriend had cancer, would I run away? Why was I treating this any differently then any other disease out there?

Because I could die, too.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I hope you can understand that it's not easy to talk about & why it might be hard. I honestly didn't have any bad intentions & just wanted to enjoy spending time you before life had to intrude.
