Question Question about partner

I recently met a guy that I really like a lot. After getting to know him, he told me that he has cerebral palsy, and it doesn't bother me. He doesn't have it very bad, but he isn't able to drive, that's the only way it affects him, that he's told me. I was just wondering how I should deal with the fact that my boyfriend has cerebral palsy.

Hi Kbunch,

It would probably help to educate yourself about CP. Find out all you can, then if your BF is comfortable answering any questions, ask. Understanding a situation to the best of your abilities is key to moving forward. Good Luck and Congratulations on the new relationship!
