Would you date or marry someone with a disability? Why or why not?

Question

abc3643 · Accepted Answer

Depends on the disability. Most importantly, is the disability genetic.
So, for instance, if a woman were a parapelegic or lost a limb due to an accident, then she is otherwise a normal woman and wouldn't pass these on to children.
However, if she had a condition that I could but I would not want be passed onto my kids with her, then I likely would not.
That said, I am old now, so this is moot; I did not have kids, I certainly didn't plan on having any which is why, for over 30 years, I dated women (and then married one) who had hysterectomies. My point is that this loosen my restriction against women with genetic disabilities - although she'd need to know that we would not be having children together.

There is little if anything that I could add to this. I suppose the "sandwich" part is kind of true for me, since even if She is disabled, She could do that - but it is not exactly selfish of me, since being capable of contributing something to me, the supposed breadwinner, would likely lift the spirits of such a girl, making Her not feel useless and therefore protecting Her from a potential depression - that is, if She is wife material to begin with, given that I do not fetishize disabled girls and I do realize that some disabled girls can also be bloodthirsty, man-hating feminists who would kill me if they could. At any rate, I would be fine with dating/marrying a disabled girl, as long as She was wife material. Me being able to fit in the protector/provider trope would probably make Her even more appealing (if I had to choose between a disabled girl and a healthy one, I might be more inclined to pick the disabled girl due to a supposed heightened appreciation of everything I do for Her).

I've had rheumatoid arthritis all my life pretty much. would I. just have to adapt to what the both of you need and make a good routine everyday. disability doesn't define a person its how they see themselves that defines them

MontBlanc · Answer

Absolutely.

A person’s value, character, and how they treat others matter far more than any physical limitation.

I believe a meaningful relationship is built on respect, trust, and shared values not on what someone can or cannot do physically.

If someone has the right heart and mindset, disability doesn’t define their worth as a partner.

People marry narcissists and psychopaths at a pretty high rate. Its kind of an “ability” in a way. It gives people the confidence and ability to get into situations like marriages and having families that they shouldn’t have any business in with their conditions, but hey they staff the highest echelons of every government out there too.

With all the asinine woke bullshit out there you’d think they’d introduce the idea of brain scans that would preclude people with inactive or considerable smaller than average amygdala from assuming any form of government leadership, political, or judicial power.

If I met someone I liked and they had a disability then obviously I would consider it. I wouldn't go out looking for someone with a disability. I think how they did it on that TV show was fairly realistic.
