1

Wasn't functional enough for it, which means it wasn't fair for anyone.

I have never been in a relationship, I'm soon 18. I am not interested in it either. It's not that I'm afraid. I just don't get why it would be so rewarding for me to be in a relationship.

Hi sharkattack,
By "Relationship" I understood you to mean a Girlfriend or Boyfriend.

I've never had either, but in the future I hope to.

We can either try to "fit in" with the rest of society, or we can be so egocentric that we can't be bothered.
I choose the actor. I observe NT's. I listen to their socializing. I practice it, so in social situations I can just emulate/mimic what is expected.
It isn't natural for me, but it enables me to "fit in".
It is VERY tiring and draining, but at least we can appear like them even though it is an act. Like being on the stage.
They can't see it is emulation, and so we are accepted.

I'm married to the man i love. we have no kids because i'm too old to have kids now.

i have been married before but he began to get jealous and controlling, so i had to divorce because i dont want to put up with that.

i can get a man easily because most men seem to find me attractive. but i am staying with my husband because he seem to understand me more than my own mother did.

I was in one to start off the year for a WEEK! But I feel emboldened and ready to try again.

your and my definitions are different, dating can be casual and just getting to know each other if it is just 2-3 dates I don't consider it real,

I have had about 4 girlfriends where we dated more than 3 dates and went as long as 3-4 months but I did not consider them relationships we were just girlfriends, for me relationship is long term.

I've never had one. I've chased a lot of guys, but didn't really have good judgement about who was interested and who was disinterested. And I had one long-term obsession.

I've had 3 very pleasant relationships, each of them about 10 years. I left the first 2 because they were very comfortable and I was starting to give up my quest to be an NT. I gave up trying to be and NT about 3 years before I started my current relationship and it's continuing to go very nicely
