I am hearing,,but had a boyfriend who was deaf, we were engaged and got along well and I do sign. But he broke up with me said I do not understand deaf world. Now hes with a deaf girl. Shes not better looking Ive been told. peole say hes with her instead of me because shes deaf and Im not. Could anyone plz explain this to me? I really loved him. And had his child too. I just dont understand. Was it really because Im not deaf? Thats just so unfair. It was hard learning sign. And now I have noone to sign to. I feel such a loss. I miss him too. He acts like he hates me. Do deaf people prefer to date only other deaf people? Why? Can anyone tell me?
