Anyone get fatigued by relationships?

Not true...

It might be rare..but it happens. One of the aspies that I know IRL is a Poly single dad raising kids who are on the spectrum...

um...

There have been occasional threads on the subject on WP....I wasn't meaning to steer the thread in that direction...I am just a tad fixated on it..so I always bring it up. It is my first poly relationship.

I think that part of the reason we are able to pull it off is because we are on the spectrum.
It makes things less complicated in the long run for us...so far..anyway.
I fill a void for my friend who has a very difficult time dealing with females....and it is no longer necessary for my main partner to cheat.

Meursault, Well sir I've not had a great many relationships to speak of though yet, I can fully understand the toll a relationship or friendship can take on either a AS person and NT individual alike..Personally, in the last time I had been aligned with someone there tended to be a great amount of conflict arising from not always being able to pick up on my partner's non-verbal cues however, I did my utmost best to deal with such issues over that period of time being 4rys.. I'll admit that over the last couple of years now I've sometimes thought about calling it quits when it comes to trying to create & maintain friendships & relationships but, I fully understand that being isolated or alone is not good for anyone's health however, dealing with the constant difficulties makes it extremely hard for me to keep pushing forward if this makes any logic. Though, don't let my own words deter you one bit for, I, myself have had ups & downs yet, realistically all people with AS most likely have or will over time so, I maintain a sense of optimism & hope..

I've been married almost 20 years and do not find our relationship draining. Exasperating sometimes, but not draining. However, I once took a 2 week class with 40 people and quickly got tired of seeing the same people over and over. I had no idea that I had an ASD: I was just a little odd and given to faux pas. I think the difference is selection: my wife and I selected each other. She accepted a lot of things that other women would not. At the class, I was with 40 strangers with different interests and values. To top it off, the instructors wanted us to bond. I don't do bonding, neither do many NTs.
