Autistic boyfriend over friendly with other girls

Post Reply New Topic

Hi androbot01

Thanks for the welcome
I'm the same I like the close couple relationship.

I'm trying to get a better understanding of why he is so chatty and what he gets from it. I'd like to be able to understand so that, if it's something he has to do to be happy and fulfilled, rather then something he's just doing regardless of my feelings, then I will try to deal with it within reason.

I would like my wife to have more friends, frankly.

I think it would cause efflorescence in our relationship.

There's nothing wrong with a little mild flirting--it induces confidence in both the flirter and the flirtee.

If people get too much "into each other," they tend to become the symbiotic shadows of their previous selves.

In my area, when two get married, friendships with the opposite sex stop.

Maybe that's wisdom after all?

You know, I think there's a clear gender divide about love.

A quote I read somewhere:
Men believe that love matters for the sake of it. Women love opportunistically.

Women are obviously hypergamous probably by nature or maybe by culture (it doesn't matter, the consequence is the same), we see it everywhere, and it's her hypergamy which defines who she will love and who she will not, and how her love will be maintained in the long run.

I am starting to believe that women are simply incapable of loving men in a way that a man idealizes is possible, in a way he thinks she should be capable of.

I see men believing in 'love conquers all' more than women, women claim to be more "realist" and having more "realistic" view on love.

It is the men who are the hopeless romantics, not the women. And you can see this in the romance literature of the entire human history.

MOD EDIT: whoops!

*The Concept of you: The concept that you fit the list of on-paper boxes like Wealth, Salary, Success, Height, Education, Status.

In this matter, I can only appear in my own person. That being said, I have on more than one occasion been told things like "Dude, you were flirting so hard with that girl". This after having had some (from my POV) very platonic, amicable conversations with girls who I found to be not much more than tolerable. Not bad in any particular way, just not people I would consider to be interesting, romantically or otherwhise. I can't speak to the situation of the OP, but it does seem to be thing that on occasion happens to aspies. My proficiency at seduction could fit in a matchbox without removing the matches, I will be the first to admit. But when chatting, even with someone I just met, I'd prefer it be on a subject we both like and find interesting, so we can express and discuss more thought-out opinions and ideas and maybe learn something from one another. Does going past superficial platitudes and niceties automatically constitute flirting in other peoples eyes? I'm honestly curious.
