To Convince Dates My Wheelchair Isn’t a Burden, I First Had to Convince Myself Despite how far we've come in championing people with disabilities, there's still a proverbial interabled line we're not supposed to cross. Recently, I realized I've been buying into that idea, believing the only way I could date is if I could become totally independent. But relationships, especially the good ones, aren’t about being completely self-sufficient. Relying on a partner—whether it’s to help you sort out a stressful situation at work, cook a meal, or open a door for you when you can’t—doesn’t make you a burden. |
