Has anyone else given up on dating during cancer treatment?
Community Member
4 days agoI gave up trying to find anyone who would accept me. I got told by one guy I was talking to that I am a liability... Gee thanks jerk. I've also been dealing with scammers... I am on SSI and I got guys asking me to send them money!! Scammers are going crazy on the dating apps... I have just given up and maybe when I am in remission I'll look again for now I don't want anyone and that's ok...

3 days agoTaking a break from dating during treatment is completely understandable, and prioritizing your own well-being right now shows real wisdom. Unfortunately, dating apps can attract people who lack empathy or try to take advantage of others, but please know that these experiences don't reflect your worth or what you deserve in a relationship. Many people in this community have found that focusing on their health journey first actually helped them build stronger connections later when they felt ready.
