Yes, I've always said this! I liked the idea of Amy when she and Sheldon were just friends whose relationship worked for them. They hovered on the outside and the writers had, looking back, stumbledon onto an agreeable "finding a girl for Sheldon" formula. Because apparently it is mandatory to find EVERYONE an opposite-sex coun terpart in this show. If they had stayed with the occasional "Amy the acquaintance" moments scattered a few times per season I would've been completely fine with Amy still being around. And it would not have got boring. I am so sick of people on the TBBT Site saying this. You'd think the way some of them carry on that every relationship has to get to the sex sooner or later to "develop", or feed their voracious fantasies. Often TV (and indeed "real life" - whatever that is) sex has the opposite effect of overcomplicating an enjoyable, close intellectual relationship.
I get the impression that Amy will start to resent Sheldon purely because he does not wish to give her what she is determined to rip out of him, and that's not fair.

But say that on the other site and the response you get is "You just want Sheldon and Amy to die old and lonely in their empty apartments." There really is a disconnect between reality and fiction.
