Would you marry someone without a 'disability'?

Someone who has got through life, certainly to my age, without anything impeding their choices sounds like a fairly fearsome creature to me. laugh

So you believe your disability was the cause of the break down of your marriage, rather than the catalyst?

The reason I ask, is because I find it hard to imagine that a healthy, loving relationship could fall apart just because one person uses a wheel chair.

I can, however, imagine that a relationship which is not working at least for one partner, or is a shallow connection in some way, could fall apart with such a change.

Perhaps you could explain a bit more to me? I'd like to understand a bit more. It could happen to any of us.

Now, wait a minute, Who.

Let me apologize, first, if you know me from these Forums primarily as a joker. I am usually. But I can and sometimes do offer sincere and thoughtful advice, as here. So take it if you like.

I don't doubt that after the failure of your former marriage, you blamed your disability, and felt that trying again was a waste of your time, and a nuisance to a prospective partner. Ok, fair enough. Maybe it was true, then.

But it needn't be. Yes, if wheelchair-bound, you face a host of life restrictions. But romance need not be one of them. Nothing's more attractive than a happy, self-confident person. So toss away the bitterness and the self-doubt, and focus on being the best, most happy guy you can. Just do that, and women (or men, if you prefer) will come flocking.

Umm, ok, yeah, that could prove awkward. Perhaps we'd better postpone the wedding for, say, 97 years?

I would love to say "Yes" to this question, but I suppose it depends on what it is.

My last serious relationship, I thought he was the "One". The first few months were nothing short of the stuff that novels are written about. And then from one day to the next, he changed radically. He would withdraw from me physically and emotionally for a week or two at a time. It was confusing, took a hit on my self-esteem, and it was madness trying to make sense out of something that didn't make sense.

After a week or two, he'd be "Himself" again and everything is rosy again, until he would drop out on me again. This cycle lasted for several months, our relationship deteroriated, I was in such pain and it got to the point that when he was Himself again, it was just too painful to brush it all under the rug.

He was on meds for depression, but I've known enough people with bi-polar disorder to believe this is what was going on. I loved him and it took quite some time, and a whole lot of courage, to go on a date after that.
