46 - For All The Men Out There
I've been wanting for a while to do a podcast from the male perspective of someone dating with a disability. Today I have another special guest, a friend of mine for over 30 years, Patrick McMullen. Patrick and I first met as college freshman. Both of us have CP, but until then, knew very few other peers with disabilities.
We talk about how growing up as one of five kids allowed him to be naturally included in activities. However, because of the CP, Patrick struggled with being different and what he thought people thought of him.
Patrick has enjoyed a successful career as a banker, has been married 25 years, and has four beautiful children. We talk about his personal experience in the area of dating, relationships, and disabilities.
Since Patrick's been married quite a while, we talk about the concept of bringing a disability into a relationship so that it has a healthy presence in a relationship.
