I love my boyfriend. I know you're supposed to accept everything about them when you do love them. I absolutely love his lips (big, soft, full red lips) but he's insecure about them. I thought it was just one of those things until last night he told me he has Crohn's disease. He has it only in his lips, though and it hasn't flared up in years though it possibly could. I know it's normal to accept this as something he has to live with, and I do, but I think I'm even more attracted to him now I know he's ill. It's as if it's a bonus. I don't mean any harm to him though, obviously. He's also quite skinny and not very tall as a result (I like thin guys and height doesn't bother me - he's still taller than me). I almost feel like the Crohn's justifies these things to me and makes them disappear.

Is it normal that my boyfriend's illness makes me more attracted to him?

    I thought crohns was a disease with the bowels and digestion issues? It makes his lips larger?

    Anyway, yes. Its normal. You love him, and you'll stick by him even when hes ill. Thats very sweet.

      Oh. Nevermind.

      "I absolutely love his lips (big, soft, full red lips) but he's insecure about them. I thought it was just one of those things until last night he told me he has Crohn's disease."

      Sorry, my bad. I wasn't paying close attention.

        You're right, it has to do with the digestive tract, but the lips and mouth are a part. It's an auto-immune disease which causes irritation and swelling.

    Maybe you're expecting a big cash inheritance from him after he dies.

      o.o How could you say that? He's gonna out-live me by far! He's really fit and takes care of himself. Can't believe someone would say that.
