    Abandoned by AS boyfriend, is this common??

    Oh gosh, I feel for you, so difficult having to watch someone you love struggle & suffer. You are doing all the right things by being supportive & reassuring but on the other hand, you too also need reassurance. I understand you don’t want to put pressure on him when he’s not in a good place but...

    Abandoned by AS boyfriend, is this common??

    Hi Eli, haven’t been on for awhile and just saw your last post. Just fascinating how many similarities we share. Describing your relationship as an emotional rollercoaster were my exact thoughts. I should also mention that on our last date I did tell my bf I believed he has Asperger traits but...

    AS ex-boyfriend wants to talk

    @Falcon I can completely relate. I was involved with a sweet, super intelligent & kind (aspie) man. We saw each other a few times a week over a 2 and a half year period. He is divorced & has a high powered job, I am a full time Carer for my mum & do voluntary work. We both wanted to end up in...

    Abandoned by AS boyfriend, is this common??

    PS I highly recommend ‘22 Things A Woman Must Know by Rudy Simone (If she loves a man with Aspergers)’ Incredibly informative & enlightening. The foreword puts everything in perspective, the initial courtship & how things start to ease off and change, Cassandra Syndrome etc..

    Abandoned by AS boyfriend, is this common??

    I feel for you Eli 24 and am hopeful your relationship will continue. Your SO seems fairly communicative and it's a positive sign that he shared the fact he has aspergers with you & didn't hide it. I can only share my own experience which to this day was one of the worst experiences of my...

    Abandoned by AS boyfriend, is this common??

    I know these posts are from last year but just came upon them & can’t believe how similar my experience has been to Hannah Fowler’s. My aspie bf of over 2 years just broke up with me. If Hannah reads this did you ever hear from your ex again? Like you I cannot believe how cold & callous my bf...

    Do Aspie Men get bored of people and girlfriends?

    PS at least you are aware of what causes you to snap & I’m betting you would explain it to your significant other...

    Do Aspie Men get bored of people and girlfriends?

    Thanks Fridgemagnetman, my above response was to A10501 but appreciate your ‘take’ I did attempt to talk with him later re: snappiness & thought we had smoothed things over as I agree there were probably various things that occurred during his day to culminate in that. Oh well, not to sound...

    Do Aspie Men get bored of people and girlfriends?

    Thank you for your perspective. Funnily enough I myself have an aversion to air con. On this particular evening all he’d said was ‘it’s getting chilly’ not ‘I’m cold’ that’s why later I said ‘you know it’s not that cold’...just shocked at his making sure a nuclear case out of it & using it as...

    Do Aspie Men get bored of people and girlfriends?

    PS This should be considered natural behavior in a give and take relationship without the fear of offending the other person. No one should have to walk on eggshells. Therapist says aside from aspie or not my b/f’s radar is so attuned to incoming missiles from women who are about to let him down...

    Do Aspie Men get bored of people and girlfriends?

    Interesting to read all the differing points and opinions. I am a soul searcher & big believer in taking account for one’s issues & behavior. Hence my being in therapy for ongoing maintenance. My therapist says such a small thing as weighing up whether to stay inside or go outside did not...

    Do Aspie Men get bored of people and girlfriends?

    Wholeheartedly agree....to your previous comment Sunnyday re; immature. passive agressive, and communication skills need to be worked on

    Do Aspie Men get bored of people and girlfriends?

    Fair points but the fact is he gets his feelings very easily hurt which is childlike and creates havoc and dissention....

    Aspie B/F ignoring me after I suggested he may be on the spectrum

    Your words make so much sense and it’s precisely for those reasons that I decided to go home that last time. Was starting to feel like I was walking on egg shells around him and his tiredness, crankiness and basically not feeling nurtured. Possible Cassandra syndrome add to that alexythemia! The...
