I have 4 close girlfriends that live in a nearby state. All of them are deaf...3 of them are married to hearing guys. One has a boyfriend who is deaf.
My hearing husband and one of my friend's hearing husband learned ASL after meeting us and we are both very happy in our marriages.
My 2 other friends who are married to the hearing guys are not happy in their marriages and I noticed that their husbands are not willing to learn ASL and there seems to be a lot of miscommunication occurring.
I think if the hearing spouses or partners are not willing to meet the needs of their deaf spouse or partner, it can cause serious problems in their relationship.
It takes two to really meet each other's needs for the relationship to work.
