Someone I care for deeply disturbed me equally deeply, some time ago, when she said that she could not bear the thought of deformity / disease / handicap in her partner. She would find it impossible to live with such a person. I left it as an expression of rare honesty and truthfulness, giving it no further thought. Yes it disturbed me that much and I cared for her as much.
Not so surprisingly, she was surprised and offended when I happened to, off-handedly, not so long ago, remark that if something did not appeal to her, it should not be expected that she bother to understand it. She told me that I had dug my own grave.
