Che -Guevara Posted July 20, 2011 ^It wasn't really question, more like an assumption that needs to be reinforced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aaliyyah Posted July 20, 2011 lol where is my sol sisters when I needed them! *cries a river! anyhow, it takes a lot of guts and iiman to settle with someone who is disabled! I have witnessed few similar stories where a guy walked out on his wife cuz something happen to her that she had no say in...like this lady who went thru heart surgery n her husband took a second wife.. as for the opposite, I personally know this sister who is married to a guy on a wheelchair and she is so devoted to him (im not saying girls stick by someone who is disabled all the time but that sister has so muchh iman and whenever I see them subhanalah it just makes me see life in a different way n that girl im talking abt married him while he was on wheelchair so u can only imagine how amazing she is..)... and the funny part was when he was marrying that lady, the story i mentioned previously everyone was praising him (makes u realize that u shouldnt go for the first impression there is something deeper).. and, the only reason i said a somali guy would walk out on a girl who is disabled is cuz in this story we were talking abt a disabled girl!...laakin runtu waxay timaada when a spouse needs the other spouse and the true character of the person comes out only then...inta kale wa bahabaha.. my three cents salaam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
