We haven't met in person yet. It's just been over a year in and she is a very busy woman; so its probably going to take a little more time then others. I have had many long distance relationships over the years and this has been the best one. She is very smart, beautiful and all around a wonderful woman. Funny thing is that my cousins long distance partner is visiting in town right now.
I have had manipulative partners in the past (some worse then others) and my current girlfriend is not one of them. I really wish I could marry her but unfortunately there is no legal way to get a divorce in the Philippines.

the Philippines.
OP, I'm going to assume you're genuine but this is all kinds of nope. Concentrate on fixing this issue yourself rather than relying on a LDR with a person who probably doesn't exist, or at least not in the way you think he/she does.We haven't met in person yet.

I am just frustrated but I am also considering the possibility that I am being unreasonable. I am going to be brief with my background as possible so it doesn't end up a mile long.
In short, I have autism but I am perfectly capable of being like any other person without autism. I have gone through special education in high school and graduated with an adjusted diploma. I have only taken one or two college classes but that is about it. My mom has been literally involved in every aspect of my life (more so then others) and as soon as I turned 18 she decided to put me on a disability government check.
Anyways, as I am on a government check I am not allowed to make money of any kind and anything that i do make I have to report it and they take out whatever I make. I am not fighting against that, I completely understand why it is the way it is. However, being on a government check means I can't afford to live alone nor afford anything like dentist bills.
I have been wanting to get off the government check and get a real job but the problem is my parents don't support that idea. Thing is, maybe some people would be excited at the idea of being able to sit around all day and collect a check without work; I am not one of those people. I have tried for years for my parents to see that I don't want to be that kind of person and that I want a fulfilling career.
I get that it probably comes out of a place of fear. I am not even allowed to go to college because the local college here mixes the high school students with the college students. I was so excited at the idea of getting a degree in earth science but since that degree is only held at the physical college that is not an option.
I really don't know what to do at this point. (I am from the United States, if you have any questions about any particular laws then I understand)
I think some posters have missed post #40
The OP is in an LDR with a person he's never met. This person is apparently the solution to moving out of his parents' place. Some posters raise an eyebrow.Elucidate please..?
Divorce is actually illegal in the Philippines (there and the Vatican). It's a very Catholic country.

He wants to get married and have kids with a married woman who can't get a divorce, to compound matters somewhat, the married woman whom he's never met happens to live on the other side of the world.
And you think we've taken issue with the legalities regarding divorce in the Philippines? Thankfully, his mum is paying more attention than you.
