I need to figure smth out. My Aspie ex accused me of not being able to have a social life because of me. This given the fact that I never told him to not do things, on the contrary, I more than respected his need for independence and going against my own wishes to join him sometimes at a party for instance.
We have been in contact (probably a bad idea) and he mentioned multiple times that he went into town, went drinking and partying and stuff. He even moved out (used to live alone) and moved in with 2 roommates. When I invited him for a coffee he bluntly rejected me. This is very confusing to me. Is it because Aspies have troubles with long-term commitments only and these gatherings are very limited so they can handle them better? Because a relationship requires empathy whereas other social encounters do not?
