10 Things I Learned Dating a Guy in a Wheelchair

[@leslieholland7843]

My late husband was a Marine Corps Scout/Sniper. He wound up in a wheelchair at the end of his life. I.was his caregiver at the end, but I was there because I loved him for his mind, his heart, his sense of humor, and didn't think that his worth was defined by the use of his legs. I was, and still am, proud to have been his wife. I always thought I was the lucky one.

It breaks my heart that people say you wouldnt be a good father. Watching just one video shows how amazing both of you will be and how lucky your kids will be. They will be the most caring, educated, inappropriately funny little humans.

Who dare to say he would not be a good father?

[@stacyhoward5464]

I agree. Disabilities don’t make you a bad father. Only concern is passing on your disease to a child.

[@annaagenevieve]

I absolutely agree. What Shane won’t be able to do physically he will more than adequately make up for by being loving, fun, educational and kind to his kids. Kids have their own little legs so they can always hop up on dad and give him a hug whenever they want.

I'm not tryna attack people, but the ironic thing is that Shane is probably gonna be a way better parent than all the people who comment saying that he's unfit to have kids. I'm really not just saying that either, Shane (and Hannah) is going to be an amazing parent and their kids are going to be so lucky to grow up in such a warm environment.

I never thought I had any preconceived notions about someone in a wheelchair until I bought my first house in my early 30's. We wanted to tear down the awful suspended ceiling in the kitchen, and a friend of my husband offered to help. (He's been a paraplegic for over 30 years) I was wondering how he was going to help, but when he showed up at our house, he came equipped with a pole and "grabby" thing he MacGyvered together and had no problem. I was so narrow-minded that I didn't realize how resourceful and resilient people can people when faced with an obstacle. He also went on the ride my horse in the next few weeks. He totally changed my perspective and he doesn't even know it, I was too ashamed to tell him. Thank you both for reaching out and teaching people (like me) who may not even know that they have these preconceived ideas how wrong we can be.

[@Timcrtr1]

Shane and Hannah, I've just found these videos and as a disabled man I just want to say t hank you. Thank you for shining a light on the struggles that we face in a daily basis. Thank you for also showing people that just because someone might use a wheelchair, it doesn't mean we can't have a productive and normal life just like anyone else. Good luck in your upcoming marriage and In hope you have many happy years together.

30 years ago when I was in hs, I showed up on the first day of school expecting to have the same Science teacher that my older brother had 2 years earlier. Instead, a very young, fresh-faced, long-term substitute entered the room and explained that the teacher we all had been expecting had sustained a major spinal injury over the summer (from falling off a balcony and breaking her back). “She has lost the use of her legs, is in rehabilitation, and is currently learning how to be mobile in a wheelchair. She *hopes* to return to the classroom - at least part time - 2nd semester.” After the shock wore off, our class began churning through Science with our new sub (who turned out to be a great teacher, btw, and *still* teaches at my old hs!). At semester, our original teacher *did* return to the classroom (part-time) and mine was one of the fortunate classes to have her as a teacher. The tables and chairs were reconfigured a bit to allow for her wheelchair. She spent much of that first day answering any & all questions .... She told us all sorts of things that we might have been to timid to ask, about her accident, her heath, her chair, her recovery, and so on. Open & honest, full of humor and wit. She demanded respect, not pity. She may have physically sat lower, but was still the “tall” authority. After a few weeks of regular Science curriculum, it occurred to me one day as she visited each of our tables to see how we were progressing on our group projects: her wheelchair and her disability had suddenly become a complete *nonissue* for us. Some kids at school who weren’t in any of her classes still stared sometimes; it was obvious they hadn’t had the same opportunity to feel comfortable. TO THIS DAY I’m *so thankful* that I had her as a teacher. I feel lucky to have been in one of her first classes back. From that semester, and for many years after, she taught her students much more than just Science.

Hey, Hannah and Shane, I just want you guys to know that you guys helped me pass nursing school. I have PTSD and anxiety on account of being in an abusive relationship and having a history of childhood abuse under my belt. Your videos kept me sane as I studied for my last final, I passed only a week ago, but it feels like forever. You have no idea what your channel means to people, and I mean that in the best way possible. I can only speak for myself, but I watch your channel because I want what you guys have. However, I have taken this time to focus on myself and to unlearn all the unhealthy habits, to mature from codependent to interdependent, and to become the person I was always meant to be. For myself. And then, and only then, can I find a relatioship as happy and flourishing as yours. Thank you for listening, and I wish you all the best. Stay safe! ❤️

I appreciate the sentiment but really there's no choice. If your given a situation you cant really just decide not to deal with it. If a family member is ill or disable you just get on with it and support each other. So when people say they couldn't do it really they would if in the situation as you can't really not do it.

@@shelleymagnussen1959 You know I honestly don't think much about what people think or say in regards to us, though it has been all positive for the people that know us. I suppose it is good that people are inspired, even if there reasons for it are a little odd. And because of how society is, I suppose it does take the right person to look at the person rather then the disability. There is allot that people just don't get. People feel weird about disabilities for some reason and tend to either ask only about a person's disability or are to afraid to ask at all. Maybe people will learn eventually.

I agree with everything about this video except for the fact that Hanna “doesn’t deserve praise”. You do a lot of extra work in a day being in a relationship with a disabled person. Not only taking care of him but all the house chores on your own. You can’t deny that and shouldn’t pretend it’s not true.... that being said... it’s just part of the nature of your relationship and it’s a choice you make and it’s nice :)

[@verom8657]

Agreed! I became a certified nursing assistant a couple of months ago but havent worked as one due to school. However, during my training I shadowed nursing assistants. Any form of a caregiver deserves praise IMO when done for the right reasons. Compassionate caregivers are amazing and of course disabled people deserve basic things like good hygiene, to be clothed, choices, etc. caregivers go out of their way to do this and it is beautiful.

[@mistyn380]

It’s definitely work, however what they’re trying to say is that it’s just a normal day and routine for them instead of a chore that you have to do. But I’m sure Shane does appreciate her and have thanked her for caring for him, while for her she’s like, for what? Lol

[@booyah5555]

I agree that it's more work, physically, but it's not appropriate for *strangers* to be giving that praise. I feel that's reserved for Shane. I'm not physically disabled, but there are some things I can't always do for myself and my wife takes care of them. It's more work for her, but she does it because she loves me. That said, I'd feel utterly humiliated and upset if some rando told her she's "so strong" and "should be praised" for all she does for me. That's an internal part of our relationship, It's Literally behind closed doors (of our house). I WISH she didn't have to do those things, and for someone to praise her for doing them would feel like a thinly veiled put-down towards me "oh you're so virtuous to care for a useless wretch like Canada". However, people wouldn't say that to her because it's not obvious. Just because people on the street can guess that Hannah does a lot for Shane, doesn't mean it's not incredibly rude to say.

[@gingercowgirl5358]

But it doesn't deserve praise. She's doing it because she wants to. Would you praise someone simply because they helped out their disabled spouse or family member/friend? It's the same concept.

[@londonm3161]

there's a difference between praise from a spouse and praise from a stranger. one feels like a meaningful expression of gratitude, the other feels patronizing and insulting, esp to those of us with a disability who have to be constantly reminded we will always be dependent on someone. of course my spouse cares for me, do you not care for your loved ones when they're sick or unwell? it's the same thing

Hey, glad to hear you found support in these videos. I was born legally blind. When I turned 20, I went through a real struggle. I cried a lot. I cried all through the service at church. I didn't know why I was crying. I realized I was extrordinarily frustrated. It finally came to me that now being thousands of miles from my parents, I was finally doing what I should have done years earlier, mourning my disability. It wasn't self pity. A lot of things were going right. I landed a good job with assistance from no one other than someone filling out the application for me. It came and went in seasons for about a year. I didn't fight it. I embraced it. I fell down in one of those belts of bark dust in a restaurant parking lot. My friend, instead of rescuing me from myself, flopped down there beside me, asking if I was praying and could he join me. Something happened. Fir the first time in my life, I felt like an equal. It was alright to trip over something and fall, long as I didn't end up in the ER. I discovered I took myself too seriously and let others define me. I decided there in the mud that if I was going to live with this vision impairment, I might as well enjoy it. I still have grieving times on occasion, but they don't last long. It gets better.

I understand your desire to keep the specifics private, but I also commend you for addressing some of the misconceptions people have regarding disability and sex. Also, you guys are too funny ❤❤

[@alinadavis2262]

Oh I totally relate to this!! When I first met my now husband, he was already diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. So many people kept saying to me “Are you sure you want to give up your life to be a caretaker?”🙄 I didn’t “give up” my life. I have a career and hobbies and my husband and I do so many fun things together just like any other couple. It is insane how many people think inter-able relationships equal sacrifice or that it makes us (the able bodied person) special or some kind of saint. I’m lucky he puts up with ME every day!

I came across a video “day in the life “ on Facebook and just wanted to express my sadness that people are cruel to you guys and also thankful you are willing to put your life out there to help educate people about disabilities. I am severely dyslexic and both of my siblings are on the autism spectrum. I can’t count how many times I’ve asked someone I’m dating or a friend for help reading or writing and the reaction often isn’t one of compassion and understanding. I’m happy you guys found someone who can understand and love you for you. What People don’t realize is we don’t have to be ashamed of our “disabilities” because no one is perfect so we really aren’t different. The biggest difference is we can’t hide from our struggles and therefore we make peace with them and find happiness sooner than most. ❤️

[@RaveYoda]

Whenever Hannah leans in to Shane as she laughs, I can just feel the love and affection. I don't know why but when I see that little gesture it really strengthens my confidence in their relationship. It also brings a little joy to my small dead heart, which is obviously the most important thing. =P

I'm getting the StoryWorth for my Mom. My Mom is also disabled and last year, due to her weak immune system, she has pneumonia which led to sepsis. On Mother's Day she slipped into a coma for 14 days, spent 6 weeks in the hospital and another month in rehab. Since then, the damage done to her body, has left her hospitalized 8 months out of the last year. I can't imagine a world without her and this is something I know she'd enjoy and it leaves an extra little something for my brother and I. Plus I'm making her a charm bracelet from scratch; all charms are handmade from clay. We always celebrate the beauty and hero that is my Mom but this year has pushed me to the brink and I just want her to know how loved she truly is; although I know she already knows.

[@14768]

Speaking of Shane being a parent some day, the funniest thing i've ever seen Shane say in a video is that he hopes his future children come out with a little tiny wheelchair. I randomly think about that sometimes and I always laugh.

[@JMSayler]

I do the same thing! Any time either of them mentions a baby or having kids I have the visual of shane scootin around with like 4 or 5 tiny little kiddos in tiny little wheelchairs scootin after him in a row like little ducklings and it always makes me smile. Babies in wheelchairs is such a cute fun visual

[@londonm3161]

to be fair, he IS literally strapped in to his chair lmao. I, personally, do not mind using confining language when talking about my wheelchair, but maybe that's because I've been told multiple times by strangers and doctors alike that I "clearly don't need a chair" and that I need to "just get up and run" 🙄 while my end goal is definitely not getting out of the chair, but being healthy and in as little pain as possible, I'd rather not give people an opportunity to question the validity of my disability 😅

Being in a wheelchair myself and requiring care, I do believe my husband should receive praise - especially from myself. I think it’s important to acknowledge how wonderful it is for my husband to go to work all day and the come home to care for me. I think it’s unfair to not give him the praise he deserves. Not everyone is willing or able to handle the extra responsibility and when done in the appropriate context I think praising someone is deserved.

[@alyjo8645]

Just touching on the last part, especially the dorm room, I can so relate to that. When I was a freshman I lived on the third floor of my dorm hall and none of the halls had elevators at all(they still don’t) I had always had horrible knees my knee cap would slide out of place and chill on the side of my leg multiple times a day. At that point I didn’t have any diagnosis or proof of a disability (if I knew what I know now I would have fought a lot harder about being on the first floor). I regularly had to go up and down the three stories on crutches multiple times a day. Whenever I had class, needed to go to the dining hall, study and hang out with friends it was always up and down. And when you were saying imagine that a so or parent can’t go visit because it wasn’t accessible, that was the case with my mom. My condition is genetic so she had horrible knees and failed surgeries that ended up making everything worse, so she couldn’t really do the whole move in and set up thing with me. Accessibility is required by law and still what is classified “accessible” is far from it. Luckily I was able to have both of my knees reconstructed so it isn’t nearly as restrictive as it was, but I had to drop out of school because I needed a year and a half to have multiple surgeries and rehab. I truly appreciate that you guys share your stories, experiences and life in a way to help educate others on topics most people don’t know much about because it’s “taboo” you are amazing and I’m so glad that I found your channel. I love how real you are and that’s something that I wish more people would do
