Hi guys! Wow we did not expect our last post to blow up like it did. My girlfriend and I wanted to give people another chance to ask questions, just in case I missed them or if they didn’t see the last post.
My girlfriend was involved in a car accident when she was 17, and suffers from Paraplegia due to the impact on her tailbone and back. We have been together four years, and we met when we were both 19 in college.
Please feel free to ask me, or both of us any questions!

sorry if its inappropriate but can yall like have sex? can she orgasm?
She a fan of cool ranch doritos?
Favorite pajamas and favorite hobbies? For the both of y’all.
Have you ever dealt with any harassment or hate from strangers (or even friends) about your relationship?
How did you two meet? I mean like the story of it.
Should’ve taken it down a notch. Impressive work tho.
Is she able to complete lots of day-to-day tasks independently? Are there certain things she has to rely on you for?
Congrats on 4 years together also!! 🙂
Would you say she developed qualities/abilities she would have not without having this accident? Do you see any positive outcomes from it?
What’s your favorite thing about her and her favorite thing about you?
I read the title of your last post but didn’t have time to read any of it. But most questions on mobility, you speak like this was a few years ago, or at least she had had time to get a grasp on how to live life with this new challenge. Does she need help with the day or day besides the height restrictions or is she able to get herself up and into everything? How was the learning process and was there anything she wished she knew earlier in her journey that would’ve really helped?
I’m sorry if this sounds really bad, I’m just new to the medical field and work in a critical care unit so it’s common I see people right after these debilitating accidents. I hope when I get to finally send someone home after weeks or sometimes months of taking care of them, that they have an easy transitioning period knowing I get all the fancy equipment to help me and they’ll usually have a lot less.
What kind of light hearted pranks do you play on her that focuses on her paralysis?
Does she ever prank strangers using her paralysis?
How often do you guys travel? And if you do, to where?
Is the place you live pretty accessible or no?
Disabled guy here. Asking bc I know my bf would just melt and give me a million compliments if I asked him. Is it hard? Are there moments you wish things were different? Generally speaking, are you happy? I guess part of me is curious what it’s like for the able-bodied person in the relationship (assuming you’re able-bodied, that is)
Ok I’ll ask some blunt questions I have thought on some late nights:
Are you limited to just missionary position during sex
If she has muscle atrophy in her legs do you need to worry about them being more fragile
Does she accidentally hurt her legs by not feeling them.
Do you often in airplanes? when she flies do you carry her to her seat as the walk way I feel is to narrow for wheel chairs
Lastly does she find it easier to gain weight or is she just naturally less hungry now
Thanks
Is there no chance of her ever regaining mobility in her lower half again ,?
What kind of jobs do you 2 have?
You ever abuse her handicap parking plates when you have her car alone?
Since her injury is somewhat recent, do you spend a lot of mental efforts discussing the accident or working through that with her? You mention the paraplegia not taking much physical effort/time. I guess I would think that a major trauma would be difficult to handle at a young age. I guess I’m wondering how challenging that is to navigate mentally/socially for her and for you.
How great of a perk is it to get wheelchair access everywhere?
Do you get free tickets to stuff as a ‘carer’?
What would be your dream vacation together?
is there ever a time you wish she wasn’t paralysed? not for yourself but for her, or have you both excepted it?
Respect brother first round on me
Ask her, “Is a hot dog a sandwich”? and “If you were a hot dog, would you eat yourself?”
What activities or hobbies do you enjoy doing together?
