Would you consider dating a severely disabled person such as a paraplegic , etc.

That's a great outlook. I have some personality issues that are downright debilitating and my husband loves me for who I am - baggage and all. ;)

I had to look deep into myself to answer this one. If the person was disabled but was high-functioning and (i know this sounds bad) low maintenance, for lack of a better word, I wouldn't care about the disability. I am not the best caretaker - it doesn't come natural to me and I get stressed out very easily, although this is something I've been working on both personally and in therapy for years. I don't think I would have the patience to actually be a caretaker. I can honestly say that if my husband were to get injured in Iraq, I would stay with him forever and of course I wouldn't love him any less but I wouldn't be very patient and It would take every ounce of courage and discipline in my body to not react in a p!ssy manner. I would like to think the cliche, "Love conquers all" would actually prevail in the end because I truly believe you can't help who you fall in love with. Who knows, I might even surprise myself! Thanks for being honest about your feelings. I think it would be hard to admit something like that :)
