The girl obviously did not have a true sense of love for him and is shallow in her feelings and affections. Someone who is a true friend and or in a relationship takes the good with the bad and the love does not fade or go away. They deal with it together. She is a very selfish person. He is better to know this now than to learn she was faking later and be hurt deeper. Someone out there will find him a good person and his missing a leg is not going to matter at all.

I don't know what to say about her being selfish...but as you said is better that this happened now than her staying with him because she felt pity for him and dating other people at the same time for example. I try not to judge her and I try to determine my friend to do the same. I know it's hard for him but this would only hurt him more. and I;m sure that he will find somebody else

taft live... i can imagine how's your friend feeling, and you cant blame the girl as well, as she might need to step forward, might she have a goal need to reach that probably you and your friend dont know that. your friend need to continue his life with or without his girlfriend somehow.. try different thing, and be more passion

that's what I told him but you can imagine how he feels..being left with one leg...and when he needed her more she isn't there for him...it's hard. but you're right that's the only thing he could do..try to move on

Hi. swissheart. I would not avoid or stop looking for my boyfriend at all. If I really love and care about him, I will stick by his side through thick and then. I would never abandon him because of him losing his leg. If this girl left him because of this, it means that she really did not love and care for him like she says so. Getting into an accident and experiencing trials and tribulations as a couple, will give a clue to let each other really know if they are really true and meant to be for one another.

yes you're right but it's easy to talk when you're not involved in it. I felt furious when I found out the way she's acting but at the same time I try to understand her...it's not exactly an easy decision to make

hello swiss, If i am on this situation honestly i will be there for him. This is the right time to show how much you care for someone. This is the right time to show that i am always there,in happy times and in bad times. I will always consider that,what if the event turns out to be the other way. What if,i was the one who had an accident and lost my leg...of course i will be hoping that he will also be there for me no matter what.

yes you're right in times like this you need all the moral support you could get and would be extremly paintful to find out that the person who was supposed to love you and be there for you...well it's not.I'm glad to hear that you would to that in this situation

That's terrible. We don't know what's going on in her head, but if she chooses to leave him because of his incapablity, then she has every right to do so and we have no right to discriminate her because of her decision. First of all, they're not married. Second, if I were the guy, I'd rather that the girl leave me, than have her stay out of pity. I don't need pity thank you very much.

i don't think you could stay with someone because you pity him in this situation but because you really love that person. you're right we don't have any right to judge her...but I fear for my friend...I fear for what he might do...anyway I hope things work out well in the end

I feel very sorry for your friend but I think he has to face the reality because this girl should not be the one that he should spend his love to beccuase she does not love him as she would be staying with him instead if she loves him a lot even he becomes injured after the accident. I hope your friend can recover from the accident and return to normal life as soon as possible.

we'll try to make his life as normal as possible. as to her decision...you can't say she doesn't love him ....maybe she's just scared. only she knows what's in her heart. I try not to judge her and hope things work out well for all in the end

This is a difficult situation because it would depend on the level of love one truly has for the person before the accident occurred. Currently I have been living with my boyfriend for five years and dating for 6. I love him dearly and if something like this were to happen to him I would not leave him, because he will need my help more then ever. What this friend is doing it would be easy to say it is because she truly does not love him, but in fact I don't know her maybe she is really scared and confused. It does not justify her hiding and I don't know how old and or young she is. Perhaps she is confused and or scared and does not know how to let him know. So it would not be right to judge her. I can only say for me and that is that I love my boyfriend unconditionally and that means with or without the leg. See I think about what if it were me in his position. Certainly I would not want to burden him with my lost leg and needing the help but then I would have to wonder if he cared for me for my legs or me as the person.

yes you're definitely right. personally i don't know what I would do. it's definitely a hard situation and I would need some time to think about it. as you said it depends on how much you love your partner. but the perspective it's scary too. anyway I hope they get back together. he's so messed up

I wont leave him no matter what. Because true love is tested in times of trials and great ordeals. It is in that time when UTMOST & TRUE love must be exemplified because it is the time when he needs his girlfriend MOST! Whether it be in GOOD or BAD times! Unconditional love must be expressed regardless of the physical appearance and intellectual capability of a person.

I would not abandon him. never. If she truly loved him she wouldn't have left. Sickness or accident can happen to anyone. Take care.

Abandonment would have never crossed my mind! I am the kind of person who is fiercely loyal to those I care about, and someone losing a leg isn't cause enough for me to leave them. I know a woman who can be an inspiration to all of us. She had everything in life... good looks, talent, money, you name it. Then one day, her live-in boyfriend got in a motorcycle accident and was completely paralyzed from the waist down. Did she leave him? She sure didn't, they are now engaged and planning their wedding! I have no doubt that his handicap has impacted her life more than it shows, but it brings tears to my eyes to see how happy they are despite the unfortunate circumstances.
