| I think connections can come & go within relationships. Lots of people jump into serious relationships because they feel a connection only to jump ship as soon as there's a minor problem because they suddenly don't feel that connection. Sometimes they seem to have the connection because they ar... |

| Hello again, Sorry my original post wasn't clear (and very waffley). My boyfriend is a programmer but I work in the security/defence sector. I know a lot of people (usually women) who give up their career/home country for their partner. Having a specific career isn't a priority for everyone, but it ... |

| Thank you for your responses everybody, it really helps to have outside opinions, especially from people with Aspergers. I honestly found it so difficult to find anyone I could get along with as well as him and evidently we have problems too! I do think he takes me for granted. I've typically gone t... |

| I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years. The first year, we pretty much only hung out together, usually at home. I hated leaving the house due to the city noise, neither of us had friends because he had only lived in the town for a year and din't have any - he also usually showed no interest in havi... |

| Hi everybody, thank you so much for your replies and support. I really appreciate it, I think no-one without Aspergers really gets this stuff! I had an interesting conversation last night with my boyfriend who (not knowing much about Aspergers) said, I don't think you have Aspergers now. I think you... |

| I can't tell you all how grateful I am for your replies, it really helps me to hear the thoughts of other Aspies, especially those who have more relationship experience than I do! He got home an hour ago and I was so happy, but then we after about ten minutes of talking about our days my head was li... |

| So I 've been in a relationship now for 6 months, and, yet again, just like in all the others before it, I'm asking myself if I love the guy and want to stay with him. Things were going so, so great between us, I missed him literally every single day, wanted to be with him, and then he moved in. 2 o... |
