Relationships with Aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

but i'm the one with Aspergers!! !

I have 'self' diagnosed myself..my father also 99% we are sure has Aspergers..and my son might..
And all I have found on the internet is 'how to deal with a partner who has Aspergers?'

But not the other way around.
I am fighting with my girlfriend all the time because shes now working and I don't get to see her much..I feel like shes avoiding me..but then is that my brain being a dick to me?
She assures me she loves me..but I ask her 5 different times.. because she didnt answer the question right.. I felt like her answers were trying to be like a double edged sword.. like she doesnt want to say she loves me and give me false hope.. so I asked till she said the words 'yes' to the question 'do you still love me the same like you used to?' she would answer 'I love you' and ' I still love you' making me wonder if I she was avoiding the question.. Or just my brain fooling me.

I am always thinking the worst. I feel like when I try explain what I am saying I bring up 'Aspergers' and feel like its a 'cop out' when I am not trying to cop out..I am really just trying to make you see that I am not being rude or mean, trying to help you make sense of my words.

she says she has read up heaps on Aspergers, but I feel like she hasn't because she still upsets me. When I even try to express myself she turns out fighting with me..its like I can't express my feelings with out getting into trouble.

Am I just one big mess? I feel like I attract problems..like a magnet to a spoon. .. . I don't know but I sure wish I did.

I need understanding.

If anyone has good opinions?
Help..?

What is the right answer then?

You sure sound like you're thinking the worst.

A lot of people like to work and or really need the money or the confidence they get from their work or from being able to support themselves.
So i wouldn't just assume she's avoiding you.
She might be tired after work and have chores at home to which she has to spend time on.
She might want some time to socialize with friends and family to.
So she might have less time for you because she has less time.
I wouldn't take that personal.

Here's a link about the 5 languages of love people can have: http://personalitycafe.com/articles/112 ... ained.html
(You might feel unloved because she has a different languages of love)

Maybe you could try writing to her to express yourself if talking doesn't work?

Dude,

I lived with a girl that had AS and I was constantly walking on eggshells with her.

You keep asking and you will get a no...I guarantee it.

My ex AS gf kept asking , kept trying to wonder why I loved her, and see if she could debunk my reasoning. That is very bad. It will force you to go so deep into your conscious that a primal answer will emerge.

Me, I found out that I had AS myself so I gave her my honest answer at the moment. It was yes or no. She gets upset when I say no and asks why and I say It was because she said something that upset me. "You are only here to pay the rent", really upset me and I did not know if she was just being mean at the moment or very serious.

When I say yes I also get why. Answers like because you like me, you are pretty, I trust you, I can say anything to you or we have fun together , better be the truth. There better not be ONE second of contradiction in any...and I mean ANY explanation.
