I had a confusing experience with my girlfriend today. I broke off my relationship with my ex some time ago, and she called me today, while my girlfriend was present. Over the phone, I told my ex I didn't really want to have any contact anymore.
My girlfriend, who is on the autistic spectrum, got very quiet and it seemed to me, upset. I didn't understand her reaction as there was no unusual content in my phone call with my ex or anything I said about it.
It seems to me like my girlfriend is feeling jealous (or unloved.) How do people with ASD usually deal with jealousy? What should I know about how to relate to my girlfriend if situations like this occur?
I assured her she is my girlfriend and that I'm not seeing anyone else.
