Q. I am a healthy, fit single 40 year old man with a hidden medical condition that can be genetically transmitted to my children. My father had it (I obviously turned out okay) and there is technology now that can detect and fix this problem in-utero. Since I want kids, I want to know -- at what point in the dating process do I bring this up? So far my experience has been if I say something early on in the relationship, they leave; but when I wait I get accused of ?a lie of omission.? What do you think? Don Don, I get these kinds of questions frequently, especially since no one is perfect. Singles have special antennae to detect imperfections in their dating partners, but if s/he hasn?t detected any of yours during the course of dating you, then it behooves you to raise the issue yourself. I think that you should be pretty close to being in an exclusive relationship before bringing up your medical situation.

In this day and age, with the ability to detect so many medical conditions before they are problematic, it doesn?t sound like a ?deal breaker.? If you are accused of a ?lie of omission,? then you are entitled to say that you could only bring up such a sensitive subject when you felt comfortable enough to do so. The right person will hopefully see you as more than just your imperfections.
