Finding love after a Spinal Cord Injury wasn't easy, but I was very lucky to have found a special lady and I thought that sharing the story of how we met might be helpful to others in the same situation

I'm dating a paraplegic for over a year now. Love is love , shouldn't matter.

Benji asks very good questions, and his reflection was wonderful! Well I guess he has been in therapy himself and one picks up how to hold a very personal conversation. Empathy, Listening, reflecting.

After two and a half years I did accept myself kind of, but still not yet got to experience a relationship. It's really just so assuring knowing that some people can accept the wheelchair.

I'm very happy that this video gives you reassurance that you can find love after SCI - it does start with self love tho. You have to see yourself worthy of love and I'm sure you are ❤️

Feeling all the warm fuzzies over here watching you talk about this girl 😊 You're lucky to have found each other 💕. She'll remember that first romantic meal forever. Mine was bangers and mash. Even though the hubs has a rubbish memory and it was 18 years ago he still remembers I served it in a bowl! My crockery 👌😂

Aww thanks for the lovely comment! Bangers and mash in a bowl - lucky guy! Did you serve it with a spoon? 😂

Hey man I’m not in a wheelchair personally but I still find these videos so interesting & just wanted they are very inspiring, your mental state seems better then a lot of people I know who have to deal with way less, thanks for making these videos bro. You inspire more people then I think you’ll ever know.

This is an amazing story and I love to hear Benji’s feedback from another perspective. He’s quite a guy! Also kudos for how you asked her out - Mr. Suave over here.😂 Well played sir! I’m so happy you had the confidence to go for it! She seems like an amazing woman and I’m very happy for you both!

Thanks ! Like I said, it was easier because my friend had told me she was likely to say yes 😉 But I have to acknowledge the growth from a few years ago when I was very insecure - onwards and upwards. ❤️

Trying the wheelchair, trying to use to toilet and falling down was so endearing of her

@@No_weight_9050 I'm not attracted to women in chairs enough to date, I like tall fully able bodied athletic women like my wife. My wife always laughs at me when I've been asked this question coz I'm in a chair myself 🤣 we've actually been asked this question a lot
