Hold out for a girl more worthy of your affections...one with a little maturity and not so closed-minded. I know it must be hard to work with her...especially if you still have feelings for her. :{ I pray you have open eyes for a better girl and that the wounds of this love heal quickly. Bless you. I married an amazing man with a physical disability and have had so many awful people ask "how could you do that?!?" I just ask them how could they not, if they met a man who loved as much as he and had confidence in himself and in us as a couple, shared similar interests, and had joy/love in his heart for God. I don't think I could get any better if I had a "whole-bodied" man. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-91292580662973415792014-11-04T09:10:31.232-05:002014-11-04T09:10:31.232-05:00Hi love you're stories .Its very encouraging ....Hi love you're stories .Its very encouraging .I met my husband more than 20years ago when I was still in school.He was perfectly normal .We got married and have 3 beautiful children .After being married for 8 years he got a accident at work and his right leg was put off till by his knee .Wow ....... what a change of circumstances .At the beginning I felt embarrassed to walk with him to be seen with him as I could not handle people looking and starring at us .Eventually I remembered my wedding vowels ,for better for worse till death do us part .He applied for a false leg and is so full of life .He cooks for me ,assist with the washing ,help with house chores and he does not feel sorry for himself .I admire him so much and now I love him more than ever .What other people think does not matter he makes me happy .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-29167583136675923902014-09-25T12:15:55.569-04:002014-09-25T12:15:55.569-04:00Hi all the story is nice .

I met my...man great stories.<br />think ill add one here<br />I met my wife 14 years ago at her high school graduation party. we had a mutual friend that had cp and decided that she needed a "Cheering up" party... see my wife has a moderate form of spastic cerebral palsy that confines her to a wheelchair and adversely affects her motor skills and speech. well after a year of meting at various events within a group of friends we decided that we liked each other enough to be a couple and figured hey lets give dating a shot and see where it goes. Now me i'm perfectly "Normal" but i have a i'm up for anything attitude. she is beautiful, funny, sweet, caring, loving did i say beautiful? anyway after a year i had decided that this relationship was in it for the long haul and proposed to her. she obviously said yes and we married the following year. 11 years and three children later I have zero regrets. Is it hard being with someone with a disability that effects them. people stare, laugh, say highly inappropriate thing but my view is screw them. what other think, say, or do has zero effect on me or how i choose to live my life. I love my wife. is it hard being a full time worker/full time caretaker/full time father of three? ya honestly it is. Is there days i want to pull my hair out and scream. honestly yes. are there things i've had to sacrifice to be with my wife. Yes again however she is worth it. As the old saying goes sometimes to cant help who you fall in love with. I know that to be an absolute truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-91354756982881595232013-12-14T23:43:03.951-05:002013-12-14T23:43:03.951-05:00Thanks for sharing.

What phenomenal stories of strength and love! I've been married for 8 years, and my husband has Cerebral Palsy. We have had and continue to have an amazing adventure together. <br /><br />We recently published our memoir, Ink in the Wheels: Stories to Make Love Roll, in part because there hasn't been many stories about inter-ability couples, and our vision is to inspire others that they can live the life they dream.

I see stories about couples where both are similarly disabled, or where one person is physically disabled and the other is typical.
