Six years ago, after seeing Rainn Wilson of “The Office” feature in a documentary about Shane’s life, Hannah contacted Shane through email.
They said “I do” in September of 2020, but nobody believes they’ll ever have the kind of fulfilling, passionate relationship that able-bodied couples take for granted.

They think I’m unable to have sex inside their narrow, missionary, man-on-woman framework. “They think that’s the pinnacle of sex,” Shane said in response to the insults.
To which Hannah said, “We definitely get a lot of comments from straight men thinking it’s not fair that I’m with Shane, and that I should be with them.” On the other hand, they would go so far as to describe the exact act they had in mind for her.

Shane remarked, “Little do they know,” with a hint of pride. Over the course of the 22-minute interview, the couple progressively takes off their clothes to prove that “trolls say .
My disabled husband can’t satisfy me, but they’re wrong.” This is only one part of the 18 “Laughing At Your Ableist BS” episode by StyleLikeU.
My Disabled Husband Can Satisfy Me, Despite What the Internet Says 19 Shane, remembering the tone of Hannah’s initial email, gushed.
“Almost every email I received told me that I was an inspiration — and not in a good way.” There was no mention of my impairment in Hannah’s email.
She said I was funny and that we had a lot in common. The way she utilised brackets in her email really got to me.
My Disabled Husband Can Satisfy Me, Despite What the Internet Says 20 Hannah, however, still at college, frequently made Shane, who was still living at home with his parents, envious.

Hannah has had crushes and interests, but she has never had a steady relationship. As she put it, “I hadn’t met anybody that I really wanted that much time with.”
Hannah also demonstrates how she helps Shane undress by carrying him to the sofa.
Throughout their conversation, Shane made it plain to Hannah that he need assistance in all facets of his life. She really wanted to be able to take care of him so that they could be independent.
Because to his disability, Shane is frequently mistaken for a mother or a caregiver’s son or daughter. “When they ask, I answer, ‘No, this is my wife.’ People’s mouths drop open in awe as they exclaim, “Good for you!”

When it comes to sticking with Shane, though, Hannah feels that she never gets enough credit. Their tone suggested to her that Shane was a “terrible choice,” .
And her husband confirmed her suspicions by saying that he is aware of the common belief that persons with disabilities “don’t have any value.”
I’ve always had a thick skin. If it weren’t for my sense of humour and sarcasm, I suppose I’d be always miserable.
To prevent non-disabled men from caressing Hannah’s shoulders, Shane says humorously, “A non-disabled guy may walk up to Hannah and start looking her. If you want to go have sex, I’ll simply say, “Hey.”
Yes, I know it sounds unromantic to the uninitiated, but please trust us on this. When I ask that question, the romance begins.
