Choosing girlfriend over family concerns

My family's cold reaction to my girlfriend's chronic illness led to relationship tension and delayed moving plans

What I wish I knew
"I should've been more open about my girlfriend's illness from the start"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly with your family and partner about sensitive issues to avoid misunderstandings"
