You relationship prblem seems normal I grew up in HoH household, but didn't really have any deaf friends. Basically, I was looked upon as an outcast or just someone to ignore. The only long term relationships were with women that needed an immigrant visa. The only other close relationship...

easy to find out My ex gave me VD. I never cheated on her. We both had to be tested. She was a carrier of it but didn't have an active case yet. In other words her boyfriend gave it to her and she quickly shared it with me. 4 months later I was covered with the sores. Disgusting!

right on! Constanly finding new faults. A spouse picking a fight so she can leave to "cool off". When the spouse becomes offensive when asked where she cooled off is another one.

hang in there I have been married twice (now divorced). Both women felt I wasn't worth much, except money and a place to stay. I worked 40-50 hours week. 6-12 years ago my wages had more buying power and I had cheap apartment and so the wife stuck. First wife quit working 2 weeks before we were...

things haven't changed. I wore hearing aids beginning in high school. I had no friends. A few people would say "hello" but not much else. I never had a girlfriend with hearing aids and didn't even have a girlfriend until I was 25. (I am a US citizen and she needed a visa). I would say...

Put a time limit on it I met a woman from Fiji here in the US. We decided to go visit her family in Fiji. Her visa didn't allow rentry to the US. After staying with her family for a full month I came back here and filed for a visa for her as we got married. Due to poor communication (and...

refusing to accept a disability I did have the problem when i had 2 religious girlfriends. They thought I was just making up my hearing loss. The first one sometimes thought I was being punished for not "believing". I got rid of the first one and the second one left me. If you want to save...

The divide is geting bigger by the day too! Most private sector jobs now require hearing to communicate with other workers and customers. Supposedly, accomodations will be made for deaf workers. Usually it seems deaf job applicants simply aren't called back after an interview. A deaf worker...

crunch time? 38-40 seems to be crunch time for finding a good companion. I have put effort into finding a girlfriend and haven't had any luck since turning 39.

sounds like my last date The stupidity and awkwardness on the guy's part sounds like my last date (2 1/2 years ago). After the fourth date she turned cold and wouldn't talk with me and just said I was acting "stupid" when I couldn't hear her. On the fifth date she wouldn't talk, spent the...

you must have some hearing I can't listen to music. If it is so loud that I can hear it, it physically hurts my ears. Sounds severely distorted also.

deaf divorced/single guys are plentiful Refering to the comment about Aussie guys. I thought some of the divorced ones were taking up the young Tongan and Fijian ladies. They may be cute when they are 19, but they come with a lot of baggage (family demands).

I wish it was on a Saturday I only live an hour a way and would like to take you out for valentines day but I'm working Tuesday.

Nobody talks to me casually either At lunch time nobody says a word to me, despite us sitting in the same breakroom. I had a girlfriend that wouldn't talk to me either. I would pick her up from work every Friday and drive her to a store so she could do shopping (with her own money) or take...

disgruntled family members This is on my mom's family and I haven't seen any of them for years. My uncles and mom had a big fallout years ago over inheritance. Several of the men have gone into bankruptcy at least once and were looking for a boatload of gold from the "estate". None of the...

heredity Allmost all family members decended from my great grandmother are hearing-impaired. By age 30 maybe 80% hearing loss. Age 40 maybe 90% loss. I can hear very low tones some, but not much else. As I could hear well-enough in school until I was about 14 years old I didn't learn ASL or...

finding a girlfriend I haven't had any luck in the hearing community as the women I have asked out have turned me down. They have no patience for a hearing-impaired guy or just want to use me for transportation. Been years since I have had a real, in-person girlfriend...

passport agency is self-suuporting They have to charge that much as they are not receiving government money to research your background and make your pasport. They are much pickier then they used to be. Kids passports are good for 5 years. My daughter's was about to expire so I applied for a...

move on to someone better I went out with a hearing-impaired special-ed teacher in 2007. We were serious, but lived too far apart to see eachother during the workweek. She said she broke up with her abusive former boyfriend. She supported him somewhat and went to AA meetings with him, or...

busy day I welded over 50 fence panels. Came home and played bass with daughter for 1/2 hour.
