    Friendship With middle aged married man

    I appreciate all of your heartfelt replies. I wanted to share this because it's very exciting to have a real chance at happiness. This morning, I saw OP at the grocery store and we spoke casually. He helped with my groceries and lingered by the car. He asked me if we could file together. I...

    Friendship With middle aged married man

    This thread was started to learn how some of OP's behaviors might fall on the spectrum. Instead, it has become a compilation of responses geared towards "stay away" and "don't ruin your life". I find it interesting how it has been forgotten that it takes TWO people to have an affair. He...

    Yes and thank you. Neither of us wanted to bring pain to our families--so not worth it.

    I am trying to figure out his behaviors and how the situation evolved to the point it did. So, yes, I wouldn't have posted it without seeking relevance to Aspergers. Also, in my effort to understand my behavior and response to his, so this can be avoided in the future.

    All relationships, illicit or not, good or bad, offer us a unique opportunity to know ourselves better. Often, we are unable to see or admit faults in ourselves, but if they are reflected in another, than we can accept them and change. When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

    food issues

    I have a question and not sure if this is the right place to post. I had lunch with a friend and while eating, he packed food into one cheek. He looked like a chipmunk I have never seen anyone do this. A few months later, I saw him walking around while eating a sandwich and he did the same...

    My Daughter Possibly on the Spectrum

    Starfire -- this was my intent -- to give examples of her behavior, hoping that some would be recognized as traits on the spectrum. Some that are listed have been ongoing for years. I joined here yesterday because some of the male friend behaviors mirrored hers. I am hesitant to add to my other...

    Are you surprised in a good way or a bad way? If it's along the lines of "knowing better", then perhaps I should include the words mid-life crisis in my profile.

    Friendship With middle aged married man

    I did have feelings for him yes, and he did reciprocate them, yes--there is more to what I wrote here--but, we have no contact with each other and have put an end to what could have been a disastrous situation. All of us involved have learned a lot from this experience and quite frankly...

    My Daughter Possibly on the Spectrum

    I am looking for answers at this point. My child had meltdowns at age 4-5. She is 12 now. Hope that fact clears up any confusion. Relatives and friends have mentioned this to me as a reason for her behaviors. I don't consider my list of concerns as a "bitching about my kid rant". I most...

    Yes, I agree. My friendship with him is over. He knew how I felt and continued to engage me and told me that we could still be friends and he didn't understand why we couldn't. The school principal had to break up our friendship and even that didn't keep us away from each other. Nothing...

    What is compartmentalized and also not a positive indicator?

    I knew who his wife was and he never acknowledged me in her presence and never talked about her in our conversations.
