[quote=Anonymous]  If my husband became disabled while I was dating him or after we married I would of course stay with him and love him just as much. I fell in love with him and still am in love with him.

Would I date someone disabled? I would. I guess the disability matters to a degree. If I met someone with an emotional disability such as a personality disorder I would probably run. Sad i know, but my MIL likely has one and I don't think I could live with these behaviors unless they were well controlled-especially the emotional abuse. If the person had an emotional disability and was getting proper treatment I would not discriminate or at least I think I would not.

Re:physical disability..If I got to know the person and felt a strong connection and was asked out, I probably would have said "yes" and given things a try. I think one fear would be if I broke up with the person it would turn into being about the disability and me being a bad person rather than that the relationship isn't working. This actually happened to me after 1 date with a man who had partial hearing loss and a speech impedement. I thought he was a nice guy so I agreed to a date, but he was all over me on our 1st date and when I wouldn't see him again he made it into me being anti-disability instead of anti-sleeziness.

In all honesty my answer to all of this would have been different in my late teens and early and even mid 20s, but I have enough life experience under my belt to know there are no guarantees in life for any of us and it's wonderful to have someone you truly love to go through life with.[/quote]
