Hearing Girl with Deaf Boy
Hi, so I'm the girl portion of the relationship.
Simplified question:
Are there dear/hearing relationships that work?
& how did they make it work?
& what have made previous deaf/hearing relationships fail?
Backstory:
I met a boy who suffers from "Ushers Syndrome", and he's been the first person I have met who cannot hear. He initially thought, that once he mentioned that he couldn't hear I would run away, but I stayed as I don't see anything wrong with being unable to hear.
When I was younger I wanted to learn ASL to talk to those, who have different views on the world as they see things that I don't yet I was rejected by "the hearing community", with all my teachers telling me it was a pointless thing to learn. After meeting this boy, I decided to revive those dreams and learn ASL as now I will have a connection to someone who I could use ASL with.
This boy understands me more than anyone else in my life, brings a smile to my face and I only can hope that I do the same to him. and I personally cannot bear that one day he'll be unable to see this world & myself (usher's syndrome) and it pains me to think he won't see the beauty.
We mainly talk through texts as my ASL is limited as of now & we live states apart. And I hope that one day we will met face to face.
