Hello Everyone I hope it is ok that I'm posting here but here we go. My name is Joe I'm 23 from CT and I am hearing. My fiance is HOH and as our relationship is progressing there is still a part of me that is....I don't know the right word....but wanting to learn more about her and who she is as a HOH person and the obstacles she has overcome to get where she is. One constant thing that comes up in our relationship is that I don't understand Deaf/HOH culture. I recently enrolled in ASL class and I really really want to get to know/understand culture so that I can be a better partner for her ( I also would love to make friends!!) So I hope I'm not offending anyone by registering here and I really would love to hear your stories, your pet peeves, to kind of better understand what is it like to be HOH/Deaf. I hope everyone realizes I'm not here to survey you, to quiz you, i'm here to make friends, to get to know the culture and I hope that is something that can be done! Thanks
