Bonus Valentines Episode, Love Through a Disability Lense

In this bonus episode of Chronically Glitched, I look at love through a disability lens. Not the romanticised version, not the inspirational one, but the real one that happens when illness changes the ground underneath a relationship.I talk about how relationships shift when disability enters the picture. What happens to romance, intimacy, partnership, and identity when life is no longer equal in the way we expect it to be. When one person becomes more dependent. When roles blur. When love starts to look less like two people walking side by side and more like adapting, adjusting, holding things together, and staying.This episode explores the uncomfortable questions people don’t often say out loud. Are you still a couple or does it start to feel like one person is supporting the other. How do you hold on to love when energy, independence, and plans disappear. What does romance look like when your body has limits. How do you redefine partnership when everything about daily life has changed.I talk honestly about my own relationship, how it looks now, what we’ve had to let go of, what we’ve rebuilt, and what love actually means when disability is part of the equation. This isn’t about tragedy or inspiration. It’s about reality, grief, adaptation, and the quiet ways love can survive even when it no longer looks like it used to.A Valentine’s episode for anyone whose relationship doesn’t fit the standard script. For people living with disability, chronic illness, or long term conditions, and for the people who love them.
