You go girl! Stick to your guns.

I was married only 3 months when I had my accident. I was worried about
losing my husband and he has been with me now for my 7 years for being a T5
para.



I was previously married and had two sons in that marriage. I have asked my
sons - now that they are older - if their father, my previous husband, would
have stayed with me during my accident and they say no.



I believe you are right. There are good guys and not so good guys. A good
guy will see you not that you need to settle! You go girl!



Have a great day!

I don't really know many others with sci...I did know a guy a few
years ago, but we lost touch.

I can tell you one thing I face that is a challenge as a disabled
woman...but probably just as a woman in general...and that's dating!
I've experienced guys who think that I should "settle" for whatever
comes along because I'm lucky that someone wants me....but I refuse
to settle...so I'm still single. I personally believe someone would
be lucky to have ME in their life, not vice versa!

Well...I may be a little stuck up. LOL

I'll tell ya though...I'm enjoying single life now more than ever!
At 34 years old, I feel like I'm the best catch around because I
know who I am, know what I want, I take care of myself, and know how
to act like a rational adult in a relationship. Thank goodness I
didn't marry the guys I dated in my 20's!
