Long Distance Love between 2 disabled people

[Kleine181010]

Hi people!
I am just a bit cunfussed. I met this awesome man, whose name is Fernando. We just hit it off straight awy and just after 2 weeks of knowing each other, we started dating, despite the distance between us, we lived around 400 km away from each other and we both are disabled (he is blind, whereas I can manage just a bit with the sight). We have seen each other 2 times since we get together, we speak on the phone and we tell each other everything. The problem here is that my parents will not allow me going to see him at his place, although I am already 26 years old. I do not know what to do, I am so desperate to be with him, because I love him and because he is the one. How can I put it through to him, that I do not want this to end, My parents say it would be too soon, because I would need to catch trains to get to where he lives. Do they want me being happy?
Thank you!

If you are/have been in a long distance relationship, do you think it is possible for the relationship to end JUST because of the distance? Can some people just not handle a far distance for any real length of time? Or do you think there are always complicating factors, and if they really wanted to make it work, they would? Is the distance just an excuse, or can it be a real reason?

You at a point where you need to make some independent changes to your life. I'm assuming you live with your parents that's why they have control over you. Maybe it's time to tell your parents that even tho you have a disability doesn't make you incapacitated to make your own decisions. Maybe it's time for you to live on your own, be your own person and enjoy a relationship with a man that could someday be your husband.

Also, are they telling you "no" or are they telling you "wait". If you haven't known this guy all that long and your parents are telling you it's too soon, they may not have a problem with it after more time has gone by and they are right. From what you said, you recently met this man and your parents are giving you good advice. Relax and take your time. The number one reason why the divorce rate is so high is that people jump into relationships and marriage too quickly. If he's the one, he ain't going nowhere, take your time. It takes time for real love to develop anyway.
