Their reasoning for their choice was the relationship would require more work, and they didn't want the other person to become dependent on them.

Can I please have their names and numbers and set them on the path to enlightenment.

I am sure there are cases where people with disabilities do become dependent on their partner, but there are just as many people who are not disabled that also become dependent on their partner. It's the person that makes that happen, not the disability. To not want to get involved with someone for fear of having them become dependent on them... they might as well go move to a cave... cause that big boobed blonde brain surgeon could be just as dependent...
As long as you can communicate with that person, and like that person, what ability/disability they have or don't have doesn't mean a hill of beans difference.
