Is it possible for a normal woman to be in love with a mentally challenged man in real life?

Your question asked... with a mentally challenged man. Of course it depends on how deep his disability is. But you are talk about love here. Since that is the case, we all know you can't help who you fall in love with, so I would say, yes, it can and does happen.

My son has learning disabilities, yet, since he was old enough, all he's ever wanted was his own family with a wife and children. He knows what normal is, and he knows what he wants. He just can't get it and it causes him to feel very sad when he see's another couple together and he doesn't have one.
There are normal girls that like him at church and the dances he goes to. He is an attractive guy. The problem is, they aren't what he's looking for as a person to love.
In junior high school, there was a his cheerleader that liked him, and he liked her as well. But she was constantly playing with his mind. He liked her for two years, then it was summer and they ended up in the same high school. When he came home from the first day of high school he told me that she had gotten taller and is fat now and that was the end of that relationship.
You must understand that people with learning disabilities can be intelligent as well. It all depends. They can be very intelligent with computers and technology, yet they can go somewhere close by, and cannot remember the way back. He loves to cook, enjoys being a screenwriter in his spare time.
Not all learning people are flat broke either. Some of them have parents and grandparents that have the money set aside for them. Some do have jobs.

But as far as falling in love, well, like I said, you cannot help who you fall in love with. 👫💘

I dated a special needs boy in high school he definitely had his challenges but he was a sweetheart absolutely adorable was one of my best relationships we never really broke up we just went our separates ways once we graduated and we remain friends he's definitely slow I would say reminds me of Forrest Gump a little but much better looking and naturally funny but he didn't always know when people were being sarcastic with him or facetious sometimes he might take things quite literally.

Regardless he was very sweet boyfriend.

It is perfectly normal to fall for one and discover there are medical, mental, and emotional challenges involved. For instance, let’s take one like an epileptic.
People who fall for one often see both human and beast in one Being and form a closer bond. With that population comes all kinds of unintentional, both person and private property, damages.

Hearing a loud sound and wondering if that was a book or body hitting the floor. Every time one gets behind the wheel of car…sports field…clubbing etc. Large medical bills.. Possible income generation issues etc.

She can love him but can she maintain and keep it with all those extra responsibilities and pressures… Could you?

It's very rare I see women or men with people that are extremely mentally challenged.

TenderFantasy · Answer

Honestly, I think it'd be hard. First of all, smartness/intelligence is attractive and sad to say but if someone was so called "mentally challenged" they'd already be LACKING in that department! People, in particular I'm talking about women here, are attracted to men who are able to provide and if someone is intelligent, they'll likely be educated and know how to survive the world enough to land a stable job, or know how to get themselves out of jams, or just know how to solve problems that arise when living life! Having mental retardation or any such similar things will be a GREAT HINDRANCE to having, not only a successful life (sadly), but yeah, it can impact that person's love life too. Of course now a days people are more aware of discrimination and so they try to be nice and less discriminating than years past, but still, at the end of the day, I feel that INTELLIGENCE is one quality that can make or break a relationship! It would be difficult to get along with someone not on the same plane/level of thought as you because you two would more likely have more disagreements and or misunderstandings! Anyway, that's my take on it.

I don't know his diagnosis. He never got one. We are not in America either. He is intelligent but definitely not normal. (Note that I am  NOT  saying his wanting to be alone is what makes him strange) He likes to be alone and only met me by chance (as does anyone) even though we fell in love, he said I would be better off without him and doesn't want more. He asked me to marry him and changed his mind like twice (he isbolder then me so its not like because he is so young). His job is also not family oriented. We are still friends. He  is really a strange and loving soul.  He knows I have moved on and is  happy for me  but he still considers me his love even though he knows I'm not his girlfriend. Not in a stalker type way lol 😂.

My wife loves me. We have been married for over ten years and have four kids. I have had a mild TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), two severe TBIs and an anoxic head injury.

As for a severe behavior challenge, I would think it just is a different kind of challenge. There are kids that my wife teaches (fifth graders) and some of them will have to do some serious growing-up as they hit middle and high school.

molonski2 · Answer

My God ! This is going to sound heartless , but things are tough enough without that , so very many issues involved. I'm sure its potentially possible , but seriously what bother? Just hard hard work..

And short of shows the normal individual ( although I hate the word normal ) to be rather needy themselves , looking for something that doesn't exist , want to be a part time carer etc. .

Wouldn't recommend this scenario.

Love is a strange thing. I think people with mental disabilities do find love. But it depends. For example if the man is physically normal but has autism then girls do find it hard but lovable. On the other hand if someone is really not normal mentally and physically then no it is so rare that I don't think anyone would be interested

JennaWillow · Answer

It's definitely possible, but requires a certain type of person given the challenges. Sadly most people with more extreme special needs never experience something like that, because those people are so few :(

jshm2 · Answer

Yes. But stop breeding retards, dimwit. You are enough of a problem as it is.

Songomatic · Answer

Assuming this is a troll, but hypothetically; if it is a real question, love does not discriminate and is unconditional.😌👰🧑‍🦼

Whatisthatname · Answer

I would say it's highly unlikely that it will happen. If you've seen "The Good Doctor", that relationship would also be very unlikely to happen.

Mangospacho · Answer

It happens all the time. Mentally handicapped people, a lot of times, can have someone right by their side.
