| I don't bring this up at every chance- the reason I'm asking a bunch of strangers to help me clarify is that I don't want to pester HIM about it. We've had two conversations about marriage, and the rest of the time, I'm silently torturing myself with worries and confusion, lol. Obviously I realize t... |

| Thanks for the replies. I think the analogy that helped me the most is about wanting children- because that's something I do understand. I definitely want kids- but as I'm still in college and my partner has an extremely stressful (but not particularly well-paying) job, I can't see that working out ... |

| This forum really frustrates me. I have never been called stupid outside of this place. I am not stupid; in fact, I'm pretty smart, but like most aspies, there are some things I can be really naive about. When I feel like I want to understand something better, I come here for support, and people cal... |

| My NT boyfriend and I have been best friends for over three years, and while we've only been together romantically for six months, it's been long enough to know that this is "it". I am in my late twenties and he's in his early thirties- we've both had enough experience with relationships to feel sur... |

| I'm not sure it's Asperger's related. and I have read posts in a marriage and relationship forum that convinced me that NT/NT relationships suffer just as much as Aspie/NT ones do! I'm not saying that tension, conflict, or learning to communicate with each other is unique or related to Asperger's. ... |

| I've noticed some unique patterns in my relationships that make me wonder if they arise from the general relationship differences between men and women- especially because I'm a woman with aspergers. One of the most prominent patterns is that I need everything literally and verbally spelled out for ... |

My boyfriend is amaz... |

| I've been on it since I was 18 (26 now). I get a TON of messages, but respond to very few. I've met a bunch of people, the majority of whom were- let's just say, "not good for me". That being said, I actually met my boyfriend on that site. We were platonic friends for over three years before dating,... |

| Makayla, I just about died laughing when I read your signature. Every one of the relatively few friends I've acquired over the years ask me whenever they have a particularly troubling or strange question about animals. (I've been obsessed with animals since I was a toddler, and my knowledge is stran... |

| Wow, thanks for all the replies! I'm glad so many of you agree with me. It's just so hard to convince the neurotypicals in my life- especially because my current behavior really isn't that odd. They're like, "why would you even bother? You're fine!" Honestly, I don't feel like I need anything other ... |
