Ive been wondering how many of us devs are currently in a relationship with a pwd ? For the ones who arent, is it something you would like to happen? I have always dreamt of it and now I am. It's been half a year now. Gets better everyday.

It's been half a year now. Gets better everyday.  Congrats! It must be good  Btw, does he knows about your devness? Or do you handle this so naturally that it is not a concern? I've always been curious on how I would handle my devness (freely but without suspicion) if was in a relationship with a pwd.

Yes, he knows. Has known from the beginning. If I hadn't explicitly written in my "online dating personal info" that I am looking for a guy with acquired paraplegia TH level, he said he would never have contacted me (he would have thought he's not "good enough" for me)

So, what exactly do you mean by “small dating pool”? Is there something very special that you are attracted to, that not many AB guys have? Dev-wise of course, there are usually not enough guys around who fit with what we’re looking for. I wouldn't say "very special" but when it comes to AB, I have some things, some qualities that I look for in a man, unfortunately when he has one, he doesn't have the other and I look for the "perfect mix of everything". I'd rather being alone than being with someone and have the feeling that I could wait more and find someone even more special. Maybe I romanticize things too much. I don't blame anyone, it's my fault too, I don't go out very much and my circle of friend is small. For pwd, I want the same qualities, features, that I want in a AB but I'm also very specific when it comes to my preferred disability - it's like finding a needle in a haystack (but this part I guess I'm not alone and some devs can relate too). Oh I can totally relate. a while ago I decided that I won’t go into a relationship with an AB man again. At least I’m not searching for it. If I ever go into any kind of relationship again, it should be a wheeler. Currently l’m really happy with what I have, it’s a really good friendship to a wheeler, which gives me so much that I don’t miss anything actually.
