Would you marry a blind/deaf person?

[Richardplex]

If I love the person and they love me too, I don't see how them being blind or deaf would matter in the slightest.

The only type of disability that would limit you would be a mental disability, if they aren't able to even understand what is involved or they have the mind of a small child? It wouldn't be fair to anyone in such a case.

I have add are you saying I have the mind of a small child?

OT: I couldnt date a blind woman since I am a artist/designer but I could date a deaf woman I actually dont have the greatest hearing combined with my add I tend to miss things so it wouldnt be that bad.

I have ADHD, so can I presume I can say yes without repercussions?

OT: I'm still undecided whether I could stand someone enough to marry them in the best of circumstances, or them me, so I wouldn't know. Music, games, certain anime and books are what I most enjoy, so it would be... difficult... to find middle ground between us. I suppose my love of mathematics and physics could work but... well, I guess there are worse things to hold people together. But overall, no, I'm a horrible and self centred person, and I wouldn't be able to see it past a burden, really.

Absolutely. Relationships are about more than one single quality or disability, and the challenge of overcoming deafness/blindness (I'd hope) would bring me closer to the person. Heck I can think of two girls off the top of my head right now that I'd think would be great to date.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Blind, yes. I don't know, but I just find something really cute about blind women.. also, I can maintain my common practice of looking however I feel like without the girlfriend noticing (proper hygiene still intact, of course). A plus!

Deaf? Nah. Won't be able to listen to me rant or debate life's questions, though wouldn't be able to hear my awful singing either..

..Nah.

This thought crossed my mind while listening to The Cure's breathtaking album, Disintegration. I think I'd be cool with marrying a blind woman who had as big a love for music as I do.

So, my fellow escapisters... escapists... escapees... would you marry a blind/deaf person?

Cool? I don't see what would be cool about it. You could lose your eyes or hearing and probably wouldn't consider it very cool. I doubt a blind or deaf person would either. They're just normal people like you or me, it just so happens they can't hear or see. That said it wouldn't really bother me, dating a blind or deaf girl, if she was pretty and smart and had an enjoyable personality I'd probably consider myself lucky all the same.

If I were with a blind person, I'd have no reason to feel insecure about my appearance, so yay!

Sure there are. Plenty of reasons. Like: Would she still love me if she could see me? Let that one rattle around in your brain every day for a couple of decades and see if it doesn't mess with your head.

both blind AND deaf, or just one or the either?
Okay, so As long as she made me happy, and I her, thn I'd do it.
Like if my gilrfriend lost her sight, I'd still be with her, i love her, and I want her happy

 

[Dags90]

I don't think so, no. I wouldn't be able to cope with that kind of responsibility.
Not the most PC answer but at least I'm honest.

Imo, it's better than bizarre fetish-y people who think it would be "cool". Makes it seem like disabled people are some sort of attraction. Would the same people like if someone married them because they found their race/ethnicity or social status was "cool"?

 

[Hagi]

I don't think either deafness or blindness are enough to purely judge upon.

I won't pretend they're not negative, but if the girl makes me happy then who gives a toss about that?

 

[Viral_Lola]

Love has no bounds. Blind, I'll learn braille. Deaf, I'll learn sign language. (I only know milk, cookie, cereal, and smattering of odd things.)

As long as we're in love and we've managed to create a stable relationship going on, I dont see why not.

P.S. Escapistians?!

As long as she loved me I wouldn't give 2 shits if she was blind/deaf.

 

[Raziel_Likes_Souls]

Blind, sure.
Deaf, there may be a few communication difficulties, but I'm sure they could be worked through.
Doesn't affect how I see view think of them as a person, so doesn't affect my willingness to enter into a relationship with them

I hear agree with that.

Welp, what were the chances I 'd start playing a VN about girls with disabilites when someone would make a thread about this? Of course there's going to be blind and deaf ones, too.


Yeah, either one of those, but not both together. That'd be a bit too difficult. If she's blind, she can hear you. If she's deaf, she can at least read your lips. Both together, well, Helen Keller should be staying in the attic to hide from the Nazis. Oh shit, that's not correct, is it?

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

I would if they are deaf.
It's not that hard, you could learn sign language, or you could just right everything. I can write fast...

Blind... My morality gets in the way here.
They don't know what I look like, they don't know what they look like, it just feels like taking advantage of them... Not that I completely base someone off of looks, but... well *dies*

 

[blackflare]

Yeah sure. It would take a lot more effort but if i loved her i would endure and get used to it. and if she was deaf sure sign language might be a pain in the ... . But i would learn to live with that also

 

[Zhadramekel]

I'm not altogether sure. Of course it would be possible to have a tangible and meaningful relationship with some with that kind of disability (heck I went deaf when I was 7 and nothing much changed) things just might be a little awkward. I wouldn't have a problem if they were deaf but if they were blind that's where things get trickier. Plus your partner would never know how you look and while I base attraction more off personality than appearance it's still a pretty important factor. I don't really know how to explain my reasoning... it's that situation where it makes sense in your head but not when you try to write it

 

[Chasing-The-Light]

I'd marry someone who was deaf or blind. Not taking a chance with someone like them would be like not giving someone a chance because they have blonde hair. Or green eyes. .... Alright... there is a bit of a difference between the two, but my point is, is that writing someone off just because of something they can't really change is just fickle.

I would feel like there were some negative parts to it, such as a blind girl never knowing what I really look like. Or a deaf girl never being able to hear what I sound like. But on the other hand, it does offer the chance to get to know someone who sees the world in a completely different way than you. I think that would be very interesting.

Long story short. Yes, I would marry someone who was blind/deaf.

 

[JokerCrowe]

I'd say it would be a problem if she was blind and deaf..
But otherwise, hell Yes! I'd actually rather marry a deaf person though, I'd like to learn sign language and... I don't know... I'd just prefer someone deaf.

 

[Scarecrow]

I don't think stuff like that really matters. I would love my girlfriend is she was blind and deaf. In the words of John Lennon: 'It doesn't matter much to me'.

 

[babinro]

Neither of those things impact personality, so yeah. I wouldn't think twice about it.
