    NT female dating AS male....help

    I have three cats, lol. They are all the therapy I can reasonably support. They have gotten me through a lot of rough spots. We ended up having a chat, I didn't intend to so soon, but the subject came up and he is a dog with a bone when he wants to be. I told him I couldn't keep up...

    NT female dating AS male....help

    Sigh.....I'm back. I've read a couple of the books recommended above, and am working my way through more. I've sat down and had several talks with him about feelings, needs, expectations, and all of the above. He says he agrees my needs are not irrational or excessive. He says he can't meet...

    Hiya from newbie

I have often thought he is a bit oblivious to the effects of his actions, but I don't know that it's anyone's place to accuse him that the way he functions is "wrong" or hurtful to many...

    Thank you all for your perspective! I’m spending a lot of time looking through the Resource section and have tracked down several books to start reading. Your advice is so much appreciated – I feel that now I am not alone in this! I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to take some time to...

    NT female dating AS male....help

    Thank you both so much for your replies! I have tried several times to talk, but I'm not sure I'm the best communicator as he doesn't seem to understand what I'm trying to explain. I invariably burst into tears during these discussions and he ends up saying that because he has Asperger's, me...

    NT female dating AS male....help

    I've been seeing an Aspie male for over a year now. I love him but inside this relationship I am lonely, feeling unwanted and depressed. I don't know what to do. I have tried talking to him about how I feel and bringing up specifics. For example: He asks me over frequently but I end up...
