- 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.
Hi freddo...I became paraplegic a few years ago because accident...and it is still very difficult to accept my condition.... your videos are an encouragement to fight. my girlfriend left me after my accident but..I found another better girl! lol I would love to be in contact with you
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? 😂
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. ❤️
Thank you for being so real and honest
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.
Wowsers man what a compliment! Thanks so much for taking the time to say that, I really appreciate it ❤️✌️
Trying the wheelchair, trying to use to toilet and falling down was so endearing of her
Yep, she's a keeper !! 😊
You two are beautiful together. ❤
Thank you ❤✌
Freddo any girl would be lucky to have you ...u too Benji ❤
That is kind, I think we’re both lucky to have each other
@FreddotheWheelchairGuy what you and Benji ??? haha kidding
@@Kenzie_McIntyre well now you mention it, I’m lucky to have them both 😊✌️
NO
😂😂This is either sarcasm or brutal honesty. There’s really no middle ground. lol
@@ParalyzedLiving honesty
No? Could you elaborate?
@@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
