I am nearing 60 in less than 5yrs.. I have been in four 'relationships' since 1987.
First was my marriage. In total, we were together 13yrs.(dating-2, engaged-3, married n living together-4.75, separated-3.
75). I was always seeing big differences in how (ex)wife's parents' treated her. Even before we got married. She was always treated like the 'ugly duckling', compared to her younger brother, step-brother, and step-sister. This even went on during our marriage. My (ex)wife even defended her parents' despite their obvious emotional mistreatment of her. While I looked to them on religion, it always knawed at me. That something was wrong with her, but she always denied it. I told her about the severity of my physical health. But when I had medical emergency, she basically abandoned me. 3.75yrs. after she left, I divorced her. I wad tired of being blamed for everything. 15yrs. after I divorced her, she finally admitted she has a disability.
Next, I was engaged to a mentally-ill woman who told me from the start. That had Bipolar Disorder. While there were lots of fun times AND, when I had two major seizures, she stayed by my side. But, When I told her to stop 'diagnosing' me. She immediately accused me of controlling her, and started preparing. We were together 4.5yrs.
Next was an LDR engagement with a woman who was also mentally-ill, but with OCD w/ hoarding. She was always concerned about my physical which was refreshing.
The fourth woman also had Bipolar Disorder. It was never an 'official' relationship but, I loved her regardless. Before Covid hit the globe, I visited her(she lived in CA, while I was in MD) in 2016, 2017 n' 2018. I moved in 2019 so I couldn't see her. That went 5yrs., until she died unexpectedly at 52, in Sep.'2021
What does that have to do with the title. People can't tell I have severe (physical)disabilities. So, They think nothing is wrong, and get mad when I say I can't do something or, that I have to do something a different way.
