I've known my former boyfriend for almost 13 years. We bonded over his 3 kids when they were little and I became their godmom. It was only this past March that he confessed his feelings to me. He'd fallen in love with me the day we first met but never said a word. I felt strongly connected to him as well but didn't act on it because I was in a relationship at the time. We'd just casually joke because we both have twisted minds. We began dating a week after he confessed this past April. There was tons of highs and lows because something seemed a bit off about how he handled life. He told me his oldest son was autistic which made me notice the similarities he shared with him. I found myself getting frustrated with how he handled situations.. I began doing tons of research and realized he had aspergers.. He was never diagnosed but fit every trait.. It made me understand a lot about him and also helped him learn why he always felt something was different about him.. Well we did okay for a few months.. He was going through a divorce from an abusive wife also...
Now the part I need help on..
While casually texting with him one night he said he was making home made eggrolls.. I made a sexual joke about it and was laughing when out of nowhere he sent a picture he had just taken of his future ex-wife naked in his bath tub.. I got upset and responded very negatively. He saw nothing wrong with it and said it wasn't what I thought it was.. She came by and asked to take a bath.. I broke up with him and we haven't really spoke in over a month..
Is that remotely normal for someone with AS? Did I overreact? It bothers me because I'm not sure if it was something he fully understood.. My ex-husband did the exact same thing years prior but he knew it was wrong and was just a jerk.. I'd told my boyfriend about it and he was disgusted when I told him. So I'm not understanding why he'd do it. He did try to cover his soon-to-be ex with an emoji but the mirrors behind the tub showed everything.. It's two problems om dealing with..
1. She was naked in his house when they are legally separated..
2. He took the picture...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.. I do still love him dearly but that broke my heart...
