recently became disabled and my partner is kinda overcorrecting and in the process almost infantilizing me and i don’t really know how to talk to them about it. they keep saying things i know they think are sweet but they make it sound like im incompetent

they told me it’s ok cause some day in the future i’ll have the chance to not be disabled anymore like that was my only hope at ever leading a successful life and they told me they’d “be my eyes” (im blind) which kinda makes it feel like they think i’m incapable of doing stuff on my own. maybe i’m kinda reading into things and i know they’re trying to be nice but i don’t know how to bring it up
