Dating, Relationships, and Disability

32 - What It's Like Having a Partner with a Disability


Listen Later

Everyone I interview for this podcast is special, but I have to admit today's guest might be the most special. Today, we're talking my husband, Scott, about what it's like to have a partner with a disability.

We also talk about:

  •  His version of our first date and  that memorable evening?
  • We’re coming up on the fifteenth anniversary of our first date. Scott talks about what he has learned in 15 years of having a partner with a disability.
  • What are challenges he continues to experience.
  • How he is affected by my increasing physical challenges as I get older.
  • How he thinks society can change to be more open to seeing people with disabilities as dating and relationships partners.
  • Advice he would give for someone with a disability in search of dating success and healthy relationships.
  • And advice  for people without disabilities who may become partners.

 Where Do We Go From Here?
