My GF-of-sorts is hinting that we should move in together

Post Reply New Topic

We've been seeing each other for years, but both of us live alone. She's NT, I'm newly diagnosed (though suspected ever since that Wired article came out.)

I have my own place, and sometimes it is a bit hard being alone at night but usually I appreciate the quiet and peace and being away from having to deal with others at work all day. In fact, I rent because I prefer not to worry about "being handy" or having to fix stuff. It's worth it to me.

Have any aspies moved in with someone after (roughly) 15 years of living solo? How do you deal? And how do I deal with this kind of subtle pressure that I'm "supposed" to do this?

Did it only once and never will do it again. It was pure hell due to my need for bounds and a safeguarded territory. Also living with someone requires an incredible amount of agreements from mealtimes up to laundry. The lack of down-time brought me to the brink of a nervous breakdown.
