ANY Type Of Dating Requires You To Be Careful

Dr. Laura:

I often hear you talking about online dating.  I have a story to share about my experience.  I met my husband on eHarmony.  We'd been dating for almost a year when I was diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast cancer at age 36.  He was there for me through a double mastectomy, sat by my side in the hospital through six rounds of hardcore chemotherapy, shaved my head when my long blonde hair started falling out, and helped me bathe when the pain from the nine surgeries was too great.  He got down on one knee and proposed while my head was still completely bald and we married a few months later.  Before we ever said "I do" I already knew I was marrying a man of great character who would be there in sickness and in health.

Now six years later, he works hard so he can support our little family - two lovely dogs, one cat - while I attend graduate school to pursue my goal of becoming a psychologist.  We never had children because of my illness, but we make the best out of life and we are grateful for each day.  While the internet is indeed a haven for freaks and weirdos, it IS possible to find a wonderful person to share your life with.  As with any other kind of dating, you have to be careful and discern if the person you are dating is right for you.

My husband's biggest fan,

Megan
