used to be quite dark 'til we had a kid.
Not had a great deal of partner experience with anyone sighted to compare, though...

My boyfriend and I are both blind, I have a little bit of vision left, he can only see some light in his right eye.
honestly it has never felt weird or diffrent. We were really great friends for quite some time before we started dating, so we were already super used to eachother. When we're out and about I guide him, which works quite well for us. In return he helps me out in other ways, he has actually been tutoring me in braille for the past few months. I feel like this is key, to make sure you're both doing what you can.
we fell in love with eachother as people, with eachother's minds or souls or whatever you want to call it. Before we started dating he had only ever touched my shoulders really (I guide him by having him hold on to my shoulder) so he didn't have much idea of what my body was like, which I think is quitei poetic. He likes me for me, thank god.
We're a pretty normal young couple I'd say. We hang out together, make out, sleep over, play DnD, have foam fights whenever we do dishes together and love to geek out over stuff. But some stuff isn't excatly a universal expirience for sighted people. this varies from him almost breaking my foot when accidentally tackling me, to 3 AM conversations about going blind. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I adore him :)

From my partner
This motherfucker couldn't see a brick wall even if he stood so close he could smell it
