If you have a visible disability...
Imagine your f/o helping you do boring maintenance on your mobility aids. Changing the tips of your canes/crutches. Cleaning the wheels on your wheelchair. Tightening the screws on your walker. All without a sigh or complaint!
Imagine them staring daggers into the rude adult who is staring at your skin disorder like a fool. Eventually spitting out, "Is there a problem?" puffing their chest out until the loser walks away, scared and ashamed.
Imagine them doing the sometimes difficult job of putting a shoe on your prosthetic foot for you, so you don't have to deal with the frustration. Or painting the nails on your arm prosthesis so they match your other hand.
Imagine them sharply correcting someone who starts speaking slowly and loudly at you once they find out you are blind/visually impaired. "Hey, asshole, they're blind, not deaf. They can hear you just fine."
Your f/o is never embarrassed to be seen with you. Never. You are perfect and beautiful to them. All the negative attention you get in public only makes them defensive of you, as you're their precious person who they would do anything to protect. They love you so deeply, every scar and lost screw (seriously, why do screws for mobility aids always get lost?!?) and wouldn't change a thing about you. They are proud of you and proud to be with you. Always.
