I make it a policy not to date retards, but even I slip up sometimes! :D

And, really, if you're happy? Then there's no need to rush to change things. If your social circle doesn't get it, they won't get it; I have friends who I love dearly who go from relationship to relationship and are always asking why they're miserable, and I just grin at them and ask if they really want me to answer. Gotta do what's right for you.
