Yes I worry about it because you never know if the feelings are real and long lasting. Again, there's the feeling that you could be a burden to the partner and the lifestyle changes that arise due to disability related issues and complications.

Very true. And as a pwd setting standards for what you want as a spouse is hard considering that you also might not fit in the standards of your prospective partner.

I am agree with the discussions are going on 100%. It is totally true that finding a best and perfect life partner for disabilities is not as easy as we think. I also think about it too many times that my life partner should be perfect for me but I know it is very very difficult specially in these times. Like someone says about that what they will feel about our disability they will accept us or not it's the big big question mark.
