Would you rather...?

Deaf. I know sign language. I could still type, write, talk to, and see my SO.

I second this.

Deaf. I wouldn't be able to handle not being able to see my SO.
I love to hear her voice so much, it is so sexy and beautiful..but I need to be able to see her. <3
I love her little faces she makes when her laugh, and I love just watching her.

Blind. (even though I just love looking at him!!!)
I just can't imagine not being able to talk or laugh out loud together! No whispering funny things or telling secrets!

Deaf...but I would miss music soooo much and hearing his voice. Being blind would be horrible though since I would never be able to see anything again.

Tough one!

A part of me feels I'd rather be blind, because his voice is incredibly comforting, I love his accent, and we don't often Skype with cams, but at the same time, I am completely useless at interpreting vocal expressions (I rely a ton on facial expressions to cue me in to the meaning of what someone is saying, regardless of tone, e.g. if someone said something in a sarcastic tone, but with a straight face, I'd have difficulty interpreting it as sarcasm) without being able to see. On top of that, I feel like if I could see, given that I could see his facial expressions, we'd still be able to share in things such as laughing together and smiling at one another, or interpreting the other's physical cues, and we wouldn't be seriously hindered by it. It would be fun to learn sign language, I'm already all right at reading lips, and so on, not to mention that oftentimes the world in general is way, way too loud for me. I'd miss things like movies and music, but I think I'd rather be deaf, much as I'd miss my SO's voice. :/

Blind all the way! He has an amazing voice, but he wont be physically sexy forever >.>

Blind!!! Not least of which because I´m a musician and audiophile :P

But in terms of our relationship, I LOVE his voice! In that "languages of love" thing, my language is communication :P When we close the distance, I´ll always be able to "see" him through touch. And he can stop complaining that he´s getting fat, I´m hardly going to care if I´m blind! :P

If I had to choose, I'd rather be deaf, I think it would be far less disabling. And when we're together, most of the time we don't really communicate verbally. I guess we're sick of all the talking we do while we're apart.
