I can only have a relationship and date guys with only learning disabilities. My mum is too stubborn and very overprotected of me for comes to guys that do not have any learning disabties.my mum is OK with me dating guys with a learning disability but now I used to be attracted to guys when I was college and I have no issue with getting boyfriend but now that I am olderstart to have a more difficulty time finding a guy that wwants a committed rrelationship.

Gwen, have you seen the movie the other sister? With Juliet Lewis and Giovanni ribbisi, and Dianne Keaton and Tom skerit and that wonderful Hispanic character actor I can never remember his name. He plays ernie in the film . This movie is 100 percent exactly about your very situation!! Please watch it and understand your moms view and your view. I am a big tough guy and I always tear up during the golf course scene, when she tells her mom off , and says she loves Daniel a learning disabled man .. they love each other . Please watch it , maybe you have already seen it? It addresses your situation 100 percent. It’s a movie made just for this exact reason. Men without learning disabilities can take advantage of you and break your heart. Nobody needs or wants that.

Not watching any films or movies already feels very disappointed about learning disabled men so far . I had 9 ex boyfriends but none of them were good but one part but they got away . Now I can and any guys that I am attracting to every single thing is going down hill . I dislike seeing other anoying couples that talk and show.

Please watch the movie, alone or with your mom only. I’m just asking you to watch a movie, that is 100 percent about what you are going through. I promise you will like the movie. And also see your side and your moms side. The other sister.. is the name of the movie.

Please don’t be so close minded. The learning disabled couple in this movie, both have jobs and live on thier own and are cute. I know you will like the movie and learn about mom’s concerns. Thanks I’m saying please and thanks, I’m being kind and respectful and trying to understand and help. Go on you tube and watch the movie with adds or watch previews at least. Especially the golf course scene with her mom … you tube . The other sister.. golf course scene

Thanks, you tube is good to search the movie, and watch the scenes. You can get a good idea in 15 minutes of that, if you will like the movie.
