What do you do when your family...
no offence, but in this specific case, your sister is a twat. her comments were, in my eyes, only meant to break you and amanda apart. some people dosnt seem to grasp that other people might like the persons you hate. you just had a bad roll and ended up being related to such a person. she then spread the taint of depise amongst the rest of your family.
if i were you, i would keep the relationship going with amanda. your relationships are none of your familys buisness. im sure you love amanda, and she loves you. and noone should stand in the way of your love. come hell, high water and lack of beer

...My family was right...she WAS a nutcase...
I...seemed to have strayed away from the original point of this thread, but I just had to come clean and explain why my relationship with Amanda ended. And now I'm left with one final, horrible thought...
...my family doesn't deserve to die...
.....*I* do......for not listening to them.....
well... ok then. after how you started the post, this made me laugh.
i was married once, and my family hated us. (and he WAS a jerk too, so they were right, but still.) and i stupidly thought that they didn't matter and i would be able to do what i wanted... not so.
however, even though i AM glad we are not together anymore, i think we would have stayed together a lot longer, might even still be together now, if my family had liked him.
so i find that a little sad, because the odds of me ever falling in love with someone are pretty low, but that he will ALSO be liked by my family? not gonna happen.

Unfortunately, my chances of being just friends with her went kaput when I e-mailed her a link to a Weird Al Yankovic video on YouTube called 'One More Minute'. It's a song about a guy who was dumped by his girl, and he's extremely bitter about it, saying things like 'I'd rather get a hundred-thousand papercuts on my face, then spend one more minute with you'. I originally meant it to be tongue in cheek, but she took it rather badly, saying 'Nice to see the real side of you, lol'
And when I tried to apologize...she said...'Love me again, f**k me again, dump me again, I don't care'...
She had been nothing but a SAINT to me, and I...pushed her away...
Maybe the fact that she has a problem freaked them out a bit, but the girl should be praised for breaking through. I feel bad for people who put themselves out there like she has. It will ultimately lead her into a stigma she'll be running from her entire life.
Too late, Amanda already has stigma to last her an entire lifetime. Because of all her bad past relationships, she thinks that ALL men from the state of Maine are 'evil' and 'wicked' and 'abusers'. (she grew up in Massachusetts)
But admittedly, she has more then just Asperger's...
She has PTSD (no wonder!) and Histrionic Personality Disorder; which makes you wanna constantly be the center of attention all the time.
You've got it hard there mate.
My parents disliked the girl I was dating, only because she seemed way too out there.
I love my parents, so I just rolled my eyes. She's in college like me, which is one thing that they don't have against her, studying to be a history major, and then going to graduate to get a degree in special education. My parents liked that part.
So what did they not like about her? They didn't think that she was the right girl for me to date, didn't think she and I had a future, the fact that they thought she and I were a bit too physical and whatnot, also had them worried, that we'd end up having sex or sleeping with each other soon, or both.
so where do she and I stand currently? We're still friends and talking, and we still like each other. plan to start dating in June, we've been friends since First grade by the way, which is an awesome thing.
so anyhow.
some things aren't all that bad.
