I'll try to make a resume of what happened, and I d like to hear some thoughts. Thank you.
So, hard aspects of my relationship: we live in distant countries, we dont talk in our native languages. So, what I will say happened on texting.
Background, we know each other in person. I know he is an Aspie, and at firts, that scared me. BUT, we found a way to get along and it was working. He is very special for me. And I feel I am special for him too.
The problem was... After some events that got me upset, I talked to him that I was feeling insecure, and in second place, that I could not build a relation alone, if he was still willing for that... Perhaps that wasn't the better approach, but, is done.
He didn't understood in that way. He attacked me saying nothing was enough. That his Aspie condition would never let him have a relation (that I never mentioned, and was never a problem for me).
I felt the misunderstood, and asked for sorry.... many times...but just got worse...
He just took what I wrote and make the worse interpretation... even if I say that is not what I spoke....
This is going on for more than a week. I wait for a few days, and then text again, trying to end this huge stupid fight.... I really don't want to cause a meltdown... but nothing seems to calm him down ..... I will stop talking to him.... see if time can make him see that I had no intentions to hurt him so much ..... I'm really sad I could not make him understand..
I know I sounded like a little girl, but thats exactly how I am feeling now...
Is there a way to deal with this?
And again, thank you...
