Would The Partner Of Your Dreams Have To Be DisAbled?
I’ve just received an email version of this article from the New York Times, and it made me think. I thought, for a bit of holiday season fun, I’d start a discussion topic here.
So, the topic of discussion is… my old favourite. Life, love and DisAbility. For those who have a husband/wife/partner: Are they DisAbled? Do they share your DisAbility? Have you ever had a relationship with a non disabled person?
For those who have not yet fallen in love, or don’t currently have a long term partner: Would you rather have a DisAbled partner? Have you ever had a relationship with a non disabled person? Would/has your partner have to share/shared your disability?
Personally, I would much rather meet a person who had a disability or shared my disability than someone who had no disability. I know how strong the connection between people who have such a big part of their lives in common is. I can’t see myself being happy with someone who does not understand the biggest part of my life, and I feel that really understanding something so big only comes from sharing it.
