AN INTERABLED couple who found love online, have hit back at internet trolls who believe their relationship is fake and unnatural. Maria first came across Catalin's social media profile in 2019 and was immediately struck by Catalin's artistry and how open he was about his condition. Catalin has a condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy, which is a degenerative condition which means he needs round the clock care. It was Maria who took the first step by sending him a friend request and leaving heart emoji's to all of his online pictures. After some initial messages, their relationship moved incredibly quickly. Maria told Truly: "Things went from liking to love in less than three weeks for me. We moved in together and now we're living together". Maria and Catalin decided to start a social media account to show the world their new relationship but not everyone online liked what they saw. Maris explained: "We started to get really rude comments like, 'I don't get the point of him being alive', our relationship is not natural and we are attention seekers". Despite these horrible comments, Maria and Catalin are incredibly happy together and have big plans for their future...with wedding bells possibly on the way!
