To her the inadequacy outweight the good. Emotions are like a bank account. Make deposits, and take withdraws. When more withdraws are made than deposits, you fall in the negative and your pareners brain beings to call it quits.
I know what you're saying. I lost someone because of my being disabled as well. I have narcolepsy. I take more naps than most without it. It can be hard, but in order to live I had to take time to figure out what my real limitations are.
I am a single parent. I remain single by choice. Part of that decision is to not have someone enter into my personal hell with me until I've figured out how to increase my abilities and the benefits I could offer someone as a partner.
When I lost someone, I didn't really know my disability or what affect it was really having on the relationship. By researching the disability, I found different coping methods I could of done which may have prevented our relationships destruction.
