I'm a native Tennessean living near my hometown in Johnson City, TN. I've been seeing someone who is physically disabled (she cannot walk and we cannot have sex) for a few months, and while I love her, I'm naturally looking for something physical. Girlfriend has lupus, and due to the long term steroid treatments, had severe bone degradation in her hips to the point of needing a double hip replacement. One hip was replaced two weeks ago, and she is getting around pretty well on a walker with a toasted second hip. The second hip replacement will probably be in September. No local surgeon is willing to touch her, but Vanderbilt has no problem taking care of a complex patient like her. She can drive, but cannot walk.

I love her, dearly, but she doesn't work. She's not on disability. Everything we do is 100% my expense, and 100% my effort. I'm physically tired of pushing the chair. I'm psychologically tired with my lack of options. I'm tired of being 100% depended on.

I've been looking at other options. I make around $65,000 annually. I'd love to meet a single woman 25-40 making what I do, no kids. It seems completely impossible in my local area. I live in Jesusland. I'm top 10%-15% of all single income earners. Women making that are quickly scooped up. Physically, I'm a short, powerful looking guy - think Daniel Cormier, two inches shorter and about 15-20 lbs lighter. I'm not attractive in that regard. I wrestled in high school and recreationally into my mid 20s, and women don't want wrestler/lifter types with a gut.

I have basically zero options here. Single women are largely single for reasons of numerous kids, mental health, etc.

Any suggestions other than moving to a healthier area?

Sounds like s super unfulfilling relationship.

Hang out near Vanderbilt? Can you move to a larger city in TN?

What about a nearby larger area that may have more dating options - maybe open things up to the whole state....

Can you manage a long distance in TN relationship? It's not a huge state.

I think you need to move to a bigger city that has a larger and more sexually open population.

Bigger than Indy, and not a suburb.

Spend some time overseas and see if you can meet somebody there within that time and then bring them back to TN.

I hear a lot of Tennessean women are very sexy.

Hee hee yes we are, but most women are coupled up by the time they settle here.

Lucky girl, I hope you are decent enough to be upfront and kind with her about it.

Yeah, he claims he loves her but he's ready to abandon her.

Move away.... or start a long-distance relationship and then ship a new wife into TN. Men do it all the time.
