Relationships

Hi guys, I was wondering how you all have got on with your relationships. How easy/difficult has it been to find a partner and what has their reaction been to your vitiligo?

Should people with vitiligo only date other vitiligo sufferers?

    Personally, I've never had any issues with being in any sort of relationship due to my vitiligo. If he loves you he'll see it as another part of you to love. Even if its not that serious of a relationship, people dont care about your flaws as much as they care about their own. If they dont wanna be with you cuz of it, then it saves a lot of time that would have been wasted on a crappy person. But I have to admit, I have always wondered how comforting it would be to be with someone with vitiligo.

    my gf broke up with me because i have vitiligo , i cried like a kid n hated my existence and the next thing i noticed my vitiligo triggered and from few spots on my hands it covered all my hands tbh i even thought to kill myself buh had no courage.I really wish life was normal ,i am a grown man but even talking about it making my eyes wet...sick and tired of this life.

    I think it is a lot more difficult for girls who have vitiligo on the face to find someone. What do you guys think? I feel that for men it's a bit easier

    Being in a relationship is really wonderful feeling & if the person really understands you then your vitiligo is not a matter of concern,I've always tried to be the one I'm & my "Someone Special" never had a problem with my vitiligo.
    The fact is, how easily you get in to a relationship depends on how the other person apprehend your vitiligo.

    I agree Mark but I was just curious. I don't know anyone who suffers from bit apart from me so I was wondering. Ofcourse I see people on the streets etc but I don't know them so difficult to strike a conversation.

    I will be honest that this is a little different for me because I am white and it is less noticeable for the most part until I tan in the summer. Most of the time the people I know and date dont notice or bring it up until I bring it up. All my relationships have been with someone without vitiligo. I havent met a girl yet who has it, only other guys. The girls I have dated don't care because I am not an asshole. All the girls I know care more about personality than looks so in my eyes having vitiligo weeds out the people who arent worth your time. But when I have brought it up they think it looks cool (I dont really think so its easier to say it looks cool when you dont have it) but they say its like the opposite of a freckle. Whenever I feel down I tell myself it doesnt negatively impact me physically and it will only impact me negative mentally if I let it. It honestly could be worse! I am still good at my job, I dont need a wheelchair or crutches because of it. The only thing that worries me is it leading to skin cancer since I am exposed to the sun a lot living in california.
