They've been through thick and thin, but a recent misunderstanding about having children has sparked a heated debate. The boyfriend, who knew sign language before they met, always tried to be sensitive to his girlfriend's disability. But when the topic of having biological children came up, things took a turn for the worse. 😓💥
