Darlap, introduction

[Darlap]

I was diagnosed with Asperger's about 7 years ago. I've been going through some issues with a relationship recently that have really been provoking me to get back into online forums to try and find some people to talk to that can relate to what my experiences are.

Short term background: I've been in a relationship for a little over a year now. I didn't even realize how much I was doing it, but I was basically trying to be as NT as I could (to do whatever it took to make it work, basically). After a while, it eventually got to the point where I couldn't do it any more, and I effectively broken up with him. But, he was persistent, and we're still together (but not living together). We're now having couple's therapy and I hope will help him understand more about what I'm really like, and hopefully get him to the point where he can decide if he really wants to be in this relationship.

So that's it. Obviously, there's much more to me, but I'll start with the recent, and what's really pressing me to come here.
