its so nice to see another one of our videos. welcome back! I'm glad i stayed subscribed.

[@3doxies2love]

As a hard of hearing person who knows ASL, the most difficult thing for me about this video was that the voiceover was way ahead of the signs at times. It got to a point where I almost turned off the voice so I could see the signs and captions only. I really appreciate having the captions and like the way you encourage others to caption their videos also.

[@AmputeeOT]

Mary Dehnhardt yeah, like... I'm Deaf so... when I do a voiceover it's hard for me to sync the two. :)

[@3doxies2love]

AmputeeOT I just love the fact that there are several ways for me to understand your videos and for that I'm very grateful.

[@Destinystrike]

Okay so i think the one thing that really catches me as amazing is how you two have to be 100% eye on one another when each other is talking. You have to pay attention visually to understand what each other are saying. It just really makes you take for granted how often we talk with one another verbally and don't have to make eye contact with the other. Fantastic video, though. Seriously .

[@absolutelypositively]

Mr. Mystery Nailed that. Very true all that you said. ✅

[@trashcanchic]

I missed your videos ☺ This was a nice insight into your relationship and lots of good tips for other people. Communication is definitely important in all types of relationships.

[@badlad1966]

Very interesting, thanks for taking the time to put this video together. Answered my question that I didnt have to ask about how you both communicated at first. Exellent.

[@ratrodbubba]

alot of wizdom in this video its nice seeing the sign language again after all these years growing up I had two grandpa's and a grandmother that were deaf

[@apirateintraining4442]

great video, your channel inspired me to document my life with amputation. Thanks so much for the amazing content

[@aaronmayer3558]

Ive been having a terrible time. Adjusting the last two months. And your videos have really. Helped to give me some hope. Of at least living with this.

[@19irving]

Honestly, Christina, I don't know that this is exactly about disability....these "rules" of communication are the solid ground for any relationship.

[@lucidinterval8012]

Cool shirt Adrian!

[@candiclaus]

My boyfriend has Cerebral Palsy and I am basically able bodied (although I do have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, like you Christina!). People wonder about our sex life all the time, but it's really not that different from anyone else's! We get lots of stares and questions, because there isn't much representation in the media. Thanks so much for putting this out there :)

[@MrMdevaney]

[@zachfriedman]

shit happens yo

[@Cacille]

She is. Open relationships ftw!

[@zachfriedman]

Astro Girl Arts yeah I hate it when someone has a different lifestyle choice that doesn't affect you at all

[@AmputeeOT]

Astro Girl Arts if you would like to learn about non-monogamy I invite you to send me a private message. I won't mind taking the time to educate you about it. You have a lot of misconceptions that unfortunately are resulting in stereotypes.

[@zachfriedman]

Astro Girl Arts maybe I'm not involved with it but just because I dont like it doesn't mean others shouldn't either

[@lucidinterval8012]

You start posting again?

[@AmputeeOT]

Nope.

[@lucidinterval8012]

Why? I love your vids :/

[@AmputeeOT]

I'm joking! Obviously I am posting again since like... I just posted this. ^.^

[@lucidinterval8012]

AmputeeOT lol I had a feeling you were joking since you obviously posted! Lol you're so funny!

[@lucidinterval8012]

AmputeeOT btw, l'm loving this video! I think its so awesome and I would love to date someone different than myself that's so beautiful. I'm so happy for you guys!

[@Tetra3Ne56scur]

Has she been deaf all her life or she just recently became deaf? How?

[@HannahTinsel]

Tetra3Ne56scur recently deaf! She had a genetic predisposition for hearing loss and she began to lose it a little bit ago. She just got a cochlear implant, though!

[@حقاستاللهج]

[@IMaximusDMI]
