Nick and Manduh
*Don't worry Nick, we'd be embarrassed being seen in public with Manduh too!*
Nick and Manduh met through Nick's sister BJ. He liked her from the beginning because she didn't scream or freak out when they met, supposidly she didn't even know he was a Backstreet Boy. But many say that even before they met, she knew who he was and took this to her advantage. She wanted to be a singer and knew that in the real world she didn't have enough talent to get signed, but with Nick's help she could. So, for this reason, many say she had her eyes set on pursuing him even from the start. They dated for a couple years and became an official couple about a year ago. They shared everything together and even bought a pug together, Houston. After some time Manduh moved in with him. Nick was so generous and was constantly buying her gifts. A few times he even let her take his credit card. It's sort of like he was buying her love. There were even a few times that she took his credit card and went on wild shopping sprees that he didn't even know about until he got the bill.
Throughout their whole relationship, Manduh was known to be "abusive" to Nick. Not knowing her own strength, she constantly hit him. Sometimes she would hit him so hard that his face would "turn red and swell". To her, the slapping was just a little "love tap" but on a few occasions she would get so upset, she would take her anger out on him... She constantly embarrassed him with her hitting but he never said anything. There were a few times that she would even hit him in front of his family. Thus making his family not to fond of her. It is said that while he was on tour she cheated on him, thus making the Carter family dislike her even more. Although the Carter's want Nick to be happy, they often tell him to rethink his relationship with Shmandy. Most outspoken and against the relationship is BJ. She feels that Manduh used her to get to Nick. They were once good friends but once BJ realized Manduh's true intentions of dating Nick, she became upset, angry, and most of all hurt.
Manduh is also "abusive" to Nick, the Backstreet Boys and their fans. She would constantly verbally and physically attack them. Sometimes after meet and greets, when the fans turned their backs, she would turn to Nick and say things like "What a slut," "Did you see what she was wearing?" "God she was fat, she looks like a whore in those tight clothes." and so on... She has also said these things straight to the fan's face. She is a very jealous person. She constantly followed Nick around and would snap at any girl who was a threat to her. It's apparent that she is threatened by every girl. There were times that she would go into the Men's restroom before Nick to make sure no fans were waiting inside for him. She probably stood there and watched him pee.
It is also said that Manduh doesn't get to well along with Amanda Latona, AJ's girlfriend. Amanda respects the fans and couldn't stand how Manduh was always rude and obnoxious to them. So on a few different occasions they've had their share of verbal wars.
Manduh is also abusive to the Backstreet Boys. Many times she has gotten mad about something and smacked one of them. She especially dislikes Howie. One time they were backstage before a concert and he was "in her way" so she shoved him, making his trip and sprain his ankle. It was nothing bad, just a sore foot. But Howie, being the trooper he is, went on with the show.
Even the Backstreet Boys' management dislikes her. One time while the stage crew was preparing for a concert, Manduh, being the moron she is, was hopping all over the stage as if she owned it. And when one of the crew members kindly asked her to leave, she snapped and said "Do you know who I am? Who my boyfriend is? You're fired!" Of course he wasn't really fired and she was escorted out of the arena and back to the hotel. But who does she think she is?
There were also many times that Manduh would check the mail at Nick's house. She would go through, open, read, and even trash any letters from fans.
Manduh went on last year's tour and on their "Into The Millennium Tour". Around September 20, 1999 Nick broke off their relationship because she "slapped Brent" his best friend. She had obviously taken it a step to far, playful or not, and we think that when she did this, Nick realized how evil and messed up she really is. When he told her to leave (from being on tour) she immediately went back to the house she and Nick shared and moved out all her belongings. Along with which she took Nick's big screen TV, a gift, some money, his DVD, VCR, jewelry and other things. She also sued him over the custody of their dog Houston. He wrote the FAQ on his page out of anger right after. A lot of people think that he didn't write that, but that an upset family memeber did...nope, Nick wrote it. And just because he was on tour, that doesn't mean he doesn't have the time to get on the internet. Facts are Facts, Nick wrote the FAQ.
We feel that he would have gotten over Manduh if she hadn't pursued him as much as she did. For awhile we felt that he was actually over her, until she called him up and his emotions got the best of him. He couldn't just forget his first love. We're sure Manduh had feelings for Nick also and once she realized that all she had was gone and her career was over, she wanted him back. So we guess the old saying goes, you don't miss what you have until it's gone. She attended many concerts during their time apart in hopes to win him back.
Nick invited his dad and friend Brent on tour to "help keep Mandy away" but that obviously didn't work. After much apologizing and convincing him she'll change, he invited her back on tour. After their Atlanta concert he took an immediate flight to Florida to spend Thanksgiving with Manduh and her family. She joined him at their next concert in Kentucky and stayed throughout the remainder of their tour. They had to move onto another bus because none of the other Backstreet Boys are too fond of her, nor are their girlfriends. Nick and Manduh moved onto AJ's bus because he tolerates her. *He probably bitch slapped her when she got an attitude.*
Although they are back together, their relationship is not as strong as it used to be, it definitely lacks everything it once had. Right now, Nick thinks that she has changed and that everything will soon get better. But right now, he is so oblivious that he just doesn't want to admit that she's using him. He has to get over her on his own time. He is afraid of being lonely. How could he be lonely with so many people and fans around? Easy. The fans are exactly that: Fans. They aren't friends, family or even aquaintances. He can't jus sit down and have a deep heart to heart conversation with these people. Unlike with Shmandy, they shared that connection where she didn't act like a teenybopper around him and treated him like a normal person *except for when she was abusive*!
All the guys (BSB) are worried about Nick and his relationship with the pyscho, they all have tried talking to him about it but he refuses to listen. Right now, Manduh is trying to seperate Nick from his family and his friends because she knows that eventually they will talk some sense into him and he will realize how messed up she really is. These are all common signs of one who is abusive, controlling, manipulative, and deceitful. Nick recently bought a house out in LA and was planning on moving out there with his family. And since he broke up with Manduh he had no reason to stay in Florida so he began shipping his things out to LA. But when they reconciled their relationship, he decided to stay in Florida and moved his things back.
He is currently living with Shmandy and her messed up family. A lot of you are probably wondering, why'd he stay with her if things were so bad? Honestly, we are not sure. But we are sure that they had feelings for each other. They shared everything together, love, anger, sadness, joy, and most of all experience. They even lost their virginity to eachother *Gasp* Yes, you teenyboppers, he's NOT a virgin! They had all the things every relationship has, especially companionship and mutual respect *well at least Nick had respect!* Right now, however, their relationship is basically a lust thing. Nick doesn't love her, no matter how much he tries to convince himself (if he does at all). And we all know Manduh doesn't love him anymore. If she truly loved him, she would have never hurt him in the first place.
Nick is a very needy person and wanted The Bitch all to himself. That's why he wasn't too happy about her wanting to get signed, but he wasn't about to say no because *Oh No* he might not get laid! Anyways, his family, friends, and fans all hope that soon he will open his eyes and his heart and will realize that Manduh is just screwed up and there are plenty of girls out there who will give him the world. He just has to give them a chance.
