Advice

Hello all,
I have never been one to really look for support online but i am entering uncharted territory and want to be the best significant other i can be.
very recently my fiancee and i found out she has ms. we have been together for almost 3 years now and she is the love of my life. i want to make sure that i support her to the best of my ability. i have been reading up online on symptoms and what to expect. i want this relationship to last and so dose she and i know this will be a ever changing road and will have ups and downs and wanted some advice on how some of you make it work. i know i will make mistakes but who dosent its apart of being human. the thing i fear most is between my mental health issues i wont be able to always give 1--% of what she needs from me and that is terrifying.before the diagnosis she wanted to have a child in the future and i was hesitant because i have a child from a previous marriage and i didnt want him to feel less loved. and right before the new i had decided that when the time was right there would be nothing that could bring me more joy than to share the experience of bringing a child into the world with her and raising him or her. and after the news she is afraid of the idea. and i understand that she is worried that she may pass it on to the child. ether way i support her and want her to be happy. so any advise or support is truly greatly appreciated. thank you to those who take the time to read this post.
