Guest guest Posted June 10, 2000 Report Share Posted June 10, 2000 Hello to all of you, After breaking up after a four year relationship about eight months ago, I decided that I wanted to try dating again. My ex-boyfriend had some qualms concerning my disability, and I decided he wasn't right for me. I had enough concerns myself about the CMT, being that it had progressed pretty rapidly in the last couple of years, and I now use a wheelchair. Well, I recently went on a first date and I had to tell you what he said to me during dinner. I never heard someone say this to me before, and I thought it might help some of you who feel that the wheelchair will make a social life pretty diificult. What he said was this: " The wheelchair doesn't bother me, because you don't let it bother you. " I realized that though it is a bit more difficult, the way I feel about all my " hardware " as I call it, (my walker and AFOs included), gives me an advantage when it comes to dating. I can easily weed out all the superficial men, and in the end, find someone who is truly " real " . By the way, it looks like we are dating now. I just wanted to share a good experience with all of you CMTers out there! Bye now, Kathleen in Brooklyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
