Why Intrusive Questions About My Disabled Partner Need to Stop

Relationships-Sexuality
May 29, 2023•2 min read
Becky Henley, who blogs at Head Over Wheels, wrote about the barrage of awkward and intrusive comments she and her partner Dan face regularly. Dan has Friedreich's Ataxia, a rare condition affecting mobility that means he uses a wheelchair. Becky's experience, since early in their relationship, is that no setting is off-limits — a day out, a tradesman in the house, a medical appointment — all produce some version of the same intrusion, ranging from bluntly rude ("What's wrong with him then?") to well-meaning-but-tactless to flatly ignorant, sometimes from people whose job should mean they know better. Her point isn't that any single comment is devastating on its own — it's the sheer relentlessness of it, and the underlying assumption that her partner's disability is public property that any stranger is entitled to ask about, on the spot, regardless of context. She also learned quickly that she herself would be addressed the same way once people learned about Dan — questions and comments directed at her, about him, as if he weren't present to answer for himself. Becky's broader argument is that this isn't a one-time adjustment new partners of disabled people go through and then move past. It's a permanent feature of being visibly connected to someone disabled, one that non-disabled couples never have to think about at all — whether that's at a restaurant, in a waiting room, or just walking down the street. She frames it as a call for basic social awareness: curiosity about someone's condition doesn't come with an automatic right to interrogate them or their partner about it in the moment, regardless of good intentions. *Based on a Disability Horizons article featuring blogger Becky Henley (Head Over Wheels), April 2022.*
