Judging Eyes
As a visually impaired person, as with almost any disability, you have to learn to accept it and do what you can with what you have. When you are in a relationship, it’s important that the other person knows that you will ask for help when you need it. The exceptions being situations that are dangerous or that you have previously agreed upon.
Once you have this, the stress of being together and dealing with the disability can be reduced because the boundaries are clear and the non-disabled person does not have to worry about whether they should jump in to help.
The problem is that people outside the relationship often see the disabled person struggling with something and the non-disabled person not helping and look at the non-disabled person with harsh and judging eyes.
This is one of the stresses that the partner of a disabled person often has to deal with that most people do not understand.
