Am I A Burden To My Wife Because Of My Disability?

People have a lot to say about interabled relationships. Some say she’s my caregiver first and partner second. Some say she must be “so strong” to love a disabled man. Others assume I’m lucky she chose me. And then there are the whispers — “How does that even work?” In today’s video, we sit down and respond to the assumptions people constantly make about our relationship as an interabled couple. As a wheelchair user and the founder of Strong Spine, I’ve heard it all. From strangers questioning our love, to people reducing our relationship to caregiving, to subtle comments that try to turn our partnership into inspiration content — this video is our honest response. We talk about: • The “caregiver” label • Assumptions about intimacy • The idea that she must be sacrificing • People who think disabled men can’t lead, love, or provide • And the pressure of being seen as “different” in public This is not a defensive video. It’s a real one. Because love is not charity. Care is not weakness. And disability does not cancel masculinity, partnership, or romance. We hope this conversation challenges mindsets, especially here in Kenya, where stigma around disability and relationships still runs deep. If you’ve ever made an assumption about an interabled couple — this one is for you. And if you’re in one, we see you. 👇🏾 Let’s talk in the comments: What’s the wildest assumption you’ve heard about interabled relationships? ⸻ 📘 Get my eBook Beyond The Chair: https://paystack.com/buy/beyond-the-c... 📍 PO Box: +254716196592, 20104 - 0100, Nakuru, Kenya 📲 Follow us: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brayo_wheels?...
