[quote=Anonymous]My sister dated a guy who was pretty much the complete opposite of who she "should" have been dating.  (She was at Harvard, he was a local who dropped out of high school etc).  I feel it was VERY much on purpose.  She liked that this was a guy she wasn't supposed to be interested in.  It was like she could see something in him that no one else could.

My parents welcomed him with open arms.  Why? Bc she loved him.  My mom treated him like she would any life partner.  She made a few small suggestions (like if they were going to have a future, perhaps my sister could encourage him to enroll in community college etc) but other than that, shut up about it.  She'd ask about him, welcomed him to family dinners and events etc.  When people would act shocked about it, she'd defend my sister as capable of making her own decisions.

They barely lasted a year before it all imploded in a dramatic fashion.  My sister was pretty clearly doing it to rebel a bit and change her image.  If my parents had tried to fight her on it, she might have stayed with him even longer, just to prove she knew what she was doing.

She ended up marrying a guy from Yale and they both got PhDs.

Moral: shut up about it.[/quote]
