Read our deep dive into how interabled couples build lasting partnership.
Long-distance, chronic illness, mobility difference - geography and diagnosis stop being walls when the platform already gets it.

Bipolar dating storiesCamila has cerebral palsy and uses a power chair. Theo is a below-knee amputee runner. They bonded over adaptive sports and a shared loathing of inspiration-porn headlines.
Cerebral palsy storiesAn interabled relationship - one partner with a disability, one without - succeeds when both refuse the caregiver script. Dr. Sarah Hunt's UK research shows that even well-meaning non-disabled partners can unconsciously slide into a carer frame, which corrodes intimacy over time.
The couples featured on this page actively resist that pull. They share logistics like roommates, divide care tasks that flow both ways, and call out language that flattens one of them into a patient. That's the equal partnership we design the product around.
"The strongest interabled couples don't avoid the word disability - they put it in the middle of the table and build the relationship around it as equals, not above or below it." - Dr. Sarah Hunt, disability relationship researcher
