I don’t like how he equates helping his partner during Covid to being the “adult” in the relationship. You’re just being a supportive husband.

As a hearing impaired person, it is actually scary to rely on others and to be made to feel like a child because of it.

Not giving a deaf child access to ASL effects them their entire lives.. give deaf children access to THEIR language

This show is great because it illustrates so well the difference between a couple that is broken and a couple (like this one) that can clearly hear and understand each other so well and are just facing a complicated relationship circumstance.

He used the word "adult" to mean caregiver. It's just how he describes the role he plays in all his relationships. And I believe what he is going through is caregiver fatigue. Caring for people takes a lot out of you, and it seems like he increased his caregiving duties after his mom died. Since his mom was the family caregiver, after her death, the role was placed on him, plus he lost someone who cared for him like he does for everyone.

Ugh I want to cry thinking about him feeling so isolated growing up because his disability wasn’t accepted and therefore resources weren’t available.

More of these type of couples, I don’t enjoy the cheating and throuple patients, who do crazy things and expect functional relationships

I appreciate that Kyle pointed that out because it seems like a natural grief process instead of infantilising his disabled partner

Not allowing a deaf child to learn sign language or bothering to communicate with them as a family should be considered abuse.

also, assisting your partner with their disability is not "being the adult". I can't believe he's using that phrasing

Why’s his infatilizing him? He’s not a child. He’s deaf - like? It’s like having a partner whose primary language isn’t yours.

His mum have had good intentions but she didn’t give him all the tools he needed to function

Hey you guys- sometimes people use words because that’s the only way they know how to frame it. His partner was not troubled be the “adult” word choice. Language and feelings are tricky so give him grace!

This couple seem solid in general. They listen without getting defensive and touch each other's arm etc.

As a HoH/deaf person, I resonate with this so hard. Interdependency is a necessary reframe here

As a hard of hearing person- mask in Covid was so hard. People didn’t believe me when I asked them to lower the mask so I could see

I feel like the hearing partner viewed translating for their partner as a parentification rather than viewing themselves as an aid to their partner.

At first I didn’t like the Latino one but his mom dying and him having to be the main adult in his immediate family and then coming home and having to help his partner…he started to resent him.

The equation of deafness with “irresponsibility” is interesting…

I went to a university with a college for the deaf and the parental choice to not give deaf kids full resources is painfully common. Lots of speech therapy, not a lot of ASL. This is a whole other level though 😭
