I would like him to accept that I do not want to attend all of his social gatherings, not every one. I would like him to accept that this is not a personal attack on him or his friends/family, I would like him to stop getting angry with me when I do not live up to his social expectations of me...

Thanks naisho, it is nice to see you again.

Unfortunately I was undiagnosed until I was 19 years of age. I spent my childhood mainstreamed, labeled the stupid daydreamer, you know the story, it is not uncommon. I have Level 1 sign, my man and I took the course together, we don't use it. As for him putting something in his ears to...

Thanks you guys for your input, it helps to feel supported here. He and I talked yesterday, we did not work anything out. He became very hurtful and thinks I am using my deafness as a excuse. I tried hard to explain myself and not react to his stabs, he doesn't get it. I am letting things...

Thank you for taking the time to answer my post. My man has learned how to speak to me very well, even took a sign course with me. I am pretty sure he spoke to the friends I was referring to and told them I was deaf and that I needed to see there lips, speak clear, etc etc....but not everyone...

My man is pissed off at me again as me, the deafie (me) doesn't fit into his world of socializing with hearies who make no attempt for me to understand them. I am tired of sitting pretty in a group but being totally alienated, I won't do it much anymore, and this hurts him. He can't...

Wishing all AD'ers a very Happy Spring! As the sun crosses the celestial equator and starts it north bound journey, our day light ours grow longer, yeah!

Black. A few white ones coming in.

Green.

for those who would like to quit, have tried everything, there is a prescription called Champax, it actually worked for my b/f who has a very addictive personality and tried for years to quit, the gum, the patch, cold turkey, a course with the cancer clinic. This drug made him just not care...

You are very welcome! Part of my daily routine is to get up early and meditate for an hour or so before the rest of the house gets up (my son, and I care for a mentally handicapped/mentally ill person in my home). I often joke to myself that when the kid is grown, i shall become a zen nun, and...

That is wild, I have not encountered that before. I am a single Mom who no longer receives any child support and my wage was just cut back three hundred a month due to govt cutbacks.....BUT......when my son wanted a sleepover b-day party, he was allowed to invite 3 kids, cause that was what i...

Way to go, I hope to do the same someday!

I was a very depressed, rebellious, angry, anorexic, suicidal teenager 9s well as being quite the hell raiser). I was diagnosed at 19 years old and then my life's puzzle pieces started to fall together for the first time.....I wasn't stupid, I was deaf!!! I have yet to learn ASL well enough to...

Fair enough.

I found this interesting, awhile back I was not allowed to talk in the forums about being a pagan, yet here you all are discussing guns. You all get along in this thread, but the religious discussions had to be locked. Maybe I am just a dumb nature based Canadian witch but this just seems...

I saw that most beautiful tattoo the other day, at first I saw colour on this woman's ear from afar and thought it was a H.A. Turns out it was a tattoo, she was open to talking about it, it was a green dragon, quite delicate and fine lined, obviously small. I am thinking of getting one on my...

Yep, small purse with batteries, lipstick, keys, cash and cards, and a pen.

Neat, didn't even know these existed!

I think my digital last abit longer. Analog I used to get a week, digital I am getting 8 or 9 days I think.
