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