Heard a story on CNN tonight of a soldier who lost his legs from a mine in Iraq. He was only in Iraq 11 months when a mine(or whatever they are called over there) blew both his legs off,but he survived. His wife stayed with him though and Pres.Bush gave him a purple heart. Him and his wife used to hike and mountain climb. It had to be a tough time for both of them,and it would truly test a true love relationship.
if and when i leave a man, it's not because of his missing legs or any other physical problem. imagine...they'll be able to spend much time touring and being retired.
I dated a Vietnam vet many years ago who lost a leg during the war.
I dated a biker guy some years after that who had lost a leg to a shark attack that happened while he was trying to save his then-girlfriend from getting attacked. His nickname was "Kickstand."
I was really good friends with a guy who couldn't walk because he was paralyzed from the waist down as the result of a car accident.
I would stay with them as long as nothing changed inside. If they still loved me, and was still the same person I fell in love with. Sometimes people can't get past their tragedies and then their whole personalities, and outlook on life can change.
absolutely not ... IF you love someone and were married to them isn't it sickness and health. As a matter of fact my best guy friend who lives in new orleans has two prosthetic legs from a birt defect. If he were not married now , and didn't have two kids and we had the opportunity in life to be together I would still take the chance. I actually watched a show on tv about amazing people the other night and this one lady did not have arms. I was amazed at what this lady could do with her feet. She cooked, cleaned, applied eye makeup and there was not one thing that she could not do. She was just about to get married and her husband was amazing and so in love with her.
Loves goes deeper than physical challenges. So if you are really in love with that person there is no way in hell you woould leave them for the loss of appendages.
I saw the same story on a news broadcast. And I too believe that true love can overcome any obstacles.
But here is a twist on things......I have Multiple Sclerosis. I am still very mobile most of the time, but there are days when my balance is terribly off and my legs feel like rubber to the point where I am not able to drive or walk without assistance. It is not something I advertise in my 'real' life or on my profile, but I am very open to talk about it once I begin to get to know someone. You would be amazed at the number of men who suddenly stop calling or communicating with me when they find out I have a chronic disease. So......because I am no longer what they would consider 'dating material' or a possible 'love interest', I am also no longer qualified to be their friend??? The word 'shallow' comes to my mind.
absolutely not.......I would most definately care for him even moreso.....love runs much deeper than a physical disability.... I can say this only cause, ok, nothing like a boyfriend, if anything a DEEPER LOVE, but my mom had her leg amputated and if anything, I kept her close and took care of her until it was time for her to part....... Love is something that is earned and legs are something that is given......I would rather take what I earned and relish in it then let something that was given make up my mind......
ok, let me rephrase that......"until it was time for her to part" ....what I meant by that was her passing away..... Sorry, just wanted to be clear on that.....
Why would I leave someone I love for who they are and not because of the physical aspect because he lost a few limbs? They are after all still human beings with feelings who deserve to be loved just as much as we do regardless if we all have our body parts in tact or not.
