I have been on the CPAP for several years. But but hadn't been dating anyone seriously, so it was not an issue that came up. I'm thinking about starting to date again seriously, and was wondering how to bring up and or when to bring up the very romantic CPAP machine. I don't want to scare people off before they get to know me, yet I don't want them to think I hiding something by not telling them, I do want to be honest about something that is going to affect both of us. Yet I think, Hi, my name is ..... and by the way I use a machine to help me breath at night is not going to paint the picture of a health active person either. Any insights. I really appreciate the help.
