Some of these short films are really funny with middleaged deaf men from Texas or somewhere like that.

Oh, and I'm a deaf American happily married to a hearing Norwegian man. We met on line and now I live in Norway with him. We've been together for 5 years now, and our families & friends know how we met and how good we are for each other. It'll be allright, just live your lives the way you want them to be lived; within your integrity and happiness.

Thank you

I am very cautious and carefull and I think things will work out good for me and him . He is very sweet and nice ... I have to go to work so I am sry I did not write more I will finish later

Hi, many many warm welcomes to Alldeaf!
One tip if I may share with you as a deaf person in a relationship to hearing person to another in the same situation... Treat this lady respectfully - she is not a thing to be owned either. No human being can be owned. Treat yourself wonderfully, too!

I'm sorry if I seem a bit harsh, and I don't know you so please don't take it personally... thought I'd give the gift of a more smooth sail riding at the beginning

Hearing/deaf relationships can work, if both partners treat each other with respect and kindness. That's a must for all other relationships, too, in my opinion.

I am sure he knows that and I really am hopefull that things will work out for me and him. Meeting is the next step once we are comfortable with meeting and everything. When is the right time to meet? We met 6/5/05 so any hints as to when we should meet ?? I am glad I came to this website b/c I have got a lot of good information from all of you and I hope you will all continue to keep giving me the good information

On the other hand I had someone private message me saying to be Cautious and Weary of him and I odnt know why , b/c he is who he says.... ive seen his picture and his webcam and his phone number and address are confirmed the same

No , we haven't met in person yet......Why do you ask

katie2d · 06-08-2005, 11:04 PM

I am basically in the same position as you. I am in love with a deaf guy and he happens to be my teacher. He is the sweetest guy. I just don't know what to expect of him and what he expects of me. He has done some work on my house for me and we've been together a couple of times, even went out, but then he disappears. I won't see him for about two weeks. If I don't text message him, he gets worried, but he doesn't answer me when I do. He is also a workaholic. He came to see me at work yesterday because I had text messaged him on Saturday that I needed to talk to him. He never showed up here and then shows up yesterday all worried about me and why I didn't text message him again. Is this behavior normal in the deaf community or is it just him being a guy?

Former one but no one can afford to generalize that one. To not offend you but I guess, he is one of 'certain' men who would do that to women. I hope I am wrong though.

btw, welcome to the AD community and I hope you'll enjoy your stay around here!

Hello everyone, I am not sure what to say to my parents . I want to tell them about Matt..... but Im afraid of what they will think and all that.... any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated

06-09-2005, 05:33 PM

How far apart do you guys live from each other? To reassure your parents, maybe have him visit you? I know how some parents will worry.

katie2d · 06-09-2005, 05:42 PM

I don't think you will have to worry about your parents. Once they see how happy you are and actually get to know him, they should be ok. My dad met the guy I am interested in and he was very impressed. My dad, bless his heart, is almost 80 and my friend started teaching him sign language. If you two are meant to be together, it will happen.
