    Recent break-up with Aspie, looking for advice?

    You are dating other people? You are hoping to bounce back to him at some stage? How do your dates feel about this, or do they not know? Are they therapy? Sounds REALLY messed up.

    Recent break-up with Aspie, looking for advice?

    I am not on the attack. I am giving my reading of things. I clearly misunderstood what happened and I apologised because it seems the fight was not as bad as what it seemed to be and that he had not withdrawn from you and that your pursuit of him was not of any real consequence. So I misread and...

    Recent break-up with Aspie, looking for advice?

    You didn't say horrible things? Great news. I must be mistaken. Then he did not withdraw from you and the events you mentioned did not happen. I am very glad this is the case. I must have misread the whole thing. I am glad you set me right. I am glad too that your friends have not been given a...

    Recent break-up with Aspie, looking for advice?

    You want things on your own terms. I get that. A relationship is about you supporting each other and you feel you support him and should not have to. If you are down to saying "What? I have to give emotional support? What about me?" Then probably better steering clear of all but suprrficial...

    I read this and it made perfect sense to me......from his perspective. Here is the thing and you may not perfectly like it but I HOPE you can understand it. To YOU this fight was over...who knows really...and of no real consequence and everyone fights and this was no real thing. YOU hurt HIM...

    Exploding Head Syndrome, Hypnic jerks and Sleep Paralysis

    I wish that the protectiveness of mothers extended to my own mother or the mother of my daughter, but it was not the case. I do think that parenting is a duty and a privilege. We do not all get it right all the time but we should try to set good examples and be open and accommodating. I think I...

    Exploding Head Syndrome, Hypnic jerks and Sleep Paralysis

    Thanks. I was trying just as an explanation rather than an attempt to illicit sympathy but your well-wishings are very much appreciated. On another note. I am a single Dad and my teenage daughter does not see me as a scary Dad, so I broke that pattern as well.

    Exploding Head Syndrome, Hypnic jerks and Sleep Paralysis

    I had very bad sleeping patterns throughout my life. Night time was a time I feared as a child because it was when my father got home after the pub. He was drunk and scary as a kid. Aggressive and violent. It took until the age of nearly 40 to break the terrible sleeping patterns of a lifetime...
