    Could my boyfriend have Aspergers?

    It's interesting that you mentioned this. My bf has described himself as a "nice guy" on several occasions and he holds bitterness about the way women have dismissed him in the past. He's said that most women he has dated suddenly drop him and abruptly end the relationship or even completely...

    Could my boyfriend have Aspergers?

    Interestingly this has now come up in conversation. We talked about Aspergers a little. He said that none of his behaviourial traits are at all out of the "ordinary" and he just laughed it off.

    Could my boyfriend have Aspergers?

    Another thing I have noticed is that he will just decide to do something (like abruptly get up and leave the restaurant, insist on suddenly leaving whatever venue we are in) without any concern at all for whether I am ready to leave. Example: we are eating in a restaurant. He suddenly says...

    Could my boyfriend have Aspergers?

    This is spot on. I'm not an uncaring person but I prefer to have a relationship with somebody who is a relevant equal in terms of basic self care, social skills etc. I feel it's better for me to be honest about this rather than pretend I am OK with it when really I am not fully OK with it. It...

    Could my boyfriend have Aspergers?

    If you read my post properly you will see that I said we are all imperfect human beings. Nowhere did I say that people with Aspergers are imperfect and those of us without Aspergers are perfect. It feels like your reply was a venting of your own issues and concerns rather than an a reply to my...

    Could my boyfriend have Aspergers?

    No human being is perfect but I think to require basic hygiene from an intimate partner is not at all demanding or unreasonable. It is very uncommon (in my experience) for an adult to simply not wash their body or brush their teeth ever. That's a little more than just being your regular...

    Could my boyfriend have Aspergers?

    Is it wrong of me to just feel that I don't want to have to teach him how to take care of his basic personal hygiene? To be brutally honest I just want a partner who already understands these things, and who doesn't smell bad.

    Could my boyfriend have Aspergers?

    Thank you for your reply. I'm particularly worried about the hygiene problems and I am not sure I can continue in the relationship due to the hygiene. Last time we were out I kept thinking "what's that smell?" It smelled like a rotting garbage can to be frank. Gradually I realised the odour...

    Could my boyfriend have Aspergers?

    The guy I've been seeing has a very unusual way of communicating. In person or on text he will not engage in normal conversation, there's never really any "hi, how are you?", he will just vomit up a torrent of highly detailed but uninteresting (to me) information about very specific subject...
