He also opens up about an important conversation he had with his dad once things started getting more serious between he and Paul.

“ I think I just met my husband “ my heart 🥹🤍

The fact that Mathew started breathing heavily just as Paul admitted that he "went to bed a little sad" because of something he did, touched my heart! How happy they found each other in this messy world!

I'm disabled, and as soon as Matthew said he googled Retinitis Pigmentosa *without prompting* I was like, this guy is amazing." It's so rare to meet people who are willing to do that rather than expect me to give them a private educational course on my disabilties while I'm trying to get to know them.

You both have quickly become my favorite couple on YTube. The authenticity is ooff the charts. Im glad you found each other and I found you!❤

The fact that Matthew is a violinist and Paul's hearing is I can't explain it, but I feel the significance in that. Love is all we need.

"every couple is interabled in some way". THANK YOU, I really needed to hear that ❤ I am recovering from PTSD and constantly feel like a burden. So this makes me feel so much better. Matthew your dad sounds like a wonderful man and he raised you right. You all give me hope 🥺

I love Matthew’s dad’s advice! My husband and I both thought we were abled when we met. He found out he was disabled at 21 and me at 33. And I feel like it’s made our relationship better. And it’s handy that our disabilities are very different, so caring for each other plays to our strengths. 😂😊

This hits home for me. I met my husband on a dating app, and within a week of chatting he told me that he has a brain tumor (non-cancerous) and has total right-sided blindness in both eyes (literally half vision in both eyes). I was leaving a friend's house, an hour and a half from my house, and couldn't answer him right away. He was so worried that I was ghosting him like every other woman had. Obviously I had no issue with that, we spent every weekend together and we're married 17 months later. We've now been married for 9 years. It's still a constant struggle managing his condition, but I'm by his side until the end, just like he was for me when I was extremely sick. I don't see his disability, only his beautiful heart. 🥰

I’m legally blind and hearing the way Paul describes the expected feeling of rejection after explaining his vision is so true but the way Matthew responded by researching your condition is amazing and it only happened to me one. Thank you for sharing your vision and how it affected your dating experience definitely helps me and gives me hope ❤

Thank you Matthew's dad ... I wish all parents have the same insights and support for their children's relationship

[celiacelisally]

I’m disabled in a different way and when you said familiar sadness I started to ugly cry. It’s so hard to describe but that hit hard. You guys have me hope and your love and outlook gives us joy. ❤

[kydragonwolf]

I met my partner through the internet, and he told me he was blind within the first ten minutes of meeting me. I'm wary of most strangers, but I trusted him immediately and we became fast friends. Still together five years later, and I wouldn't give it up for the world.
You two are a beautiful couple. Thank you for sharing your story!

[katietoole]

I love the dad's advice. Any partner could become disabled tomorrow, we never know what's going to happen, but do you love THIS person. Love it.

[cbmore]

I really liked hearing about the talk with your father. So great that you can talk with your dad like that.

[Sam_a]

I love that Matthew's dad said that! For nearly everyone, being able-bodied is a temporary state - if we're lucky enough to grow old, we all experience vision or hearing loss or generally have our bodies and brains change over time. That's just a part of loving anybody. So nice that you have such wonderful support behind your relationship!

[MoodyZoe]

Matthew is a violinist? I am in love ! 😍 😀

[mariem]

The chemistry. The love. The care. It’s magical and beautiful.

[DariaIK]

Hi! I'm just an European girl who found you two on Instagram. I fell in love with you two - like... a gay couple?! a married gay couple?! And one of them have a disability? And the most understanding husband ever?! Ugh, couple goals.
I will keep watching your videos to remember these couple exist. I have also a disability (cerebral palsy during the birth) so this kind of videos are what I am looking for. ❤

[sapphicalix]

I’m disabled due to multiple chronic illnesses that cause constant chronic pain, and I’m also a lesbian so I really relate to this. My girlfriend and I just broke up a few days ago but we were in an interabled relationship as well. I feel like it’s almost impossible to meet women as a lesbian in my state, but especially as a disabled lesbian, without using dating apps so I fully understand where Paul is coming from. But it’s still incredibly hard dating on dating apps or not as someone who’s disabled. Most people would just rather not deal with it. It sucks. I’m so glad you found each other and everything worked out for both of you. I’ve seen your other videos and it’s so clear that you love each other very much 💕

That's brilliant advice from Matthew's dad! I'll share that with my son once that day arrives so that he doesn't make the same mistake as his father did. When we met we were both fully able bodied, well I was at least able to function normally. My pregnancy triggerd a chronic illness that started a domino effect and I'm now in a wheelchair. My husband refused to accept it and did not take any responisibility for anything, nor help me at all. We're now divorced and I'm a single mother with multiple chronic illnesses and conditions, careing for an AuDHD child. My son will have a better understanding of what it meas to have disabilites of various types and the effort it takes to care for someone with disabilites. Being prepared for anything and knowing it's going to be ok, is great mindset to have. After all, we mary for sickness and in health, not just the healthy part.
