I have. I reacted very poorly, didn't even try with any other girls for almost three years. Though it may have had more to do with the way she went about leaving, and the things I found out about her after.

I've broken up with mine of 6 months recently. I've felt worse after a break up of a relationship that lasted a week. My point is yes, even a psychopath can feel sad, that's why they kill themselves so often.

That's because you knew it wasn't going to work after 6 months. After a week, your dreams are still developing and you are still in the endorphin stage.

It sucks. For a while. Then life goes on... And then your cat dies. And life stops going on...

To add a disclaimer I am not certain that my ex-bf has AS I merely suspect it, and I am diagnosed AS not NT. But my exboyfriend wouldn't accept the fact I had broken up with him for over 3 years after the event, and made all these attempts to contact me even coming to the bus terminal at my uni (where I couldn't avoid him) a few months after I cut off contact to give me a framed couple picture of us as a birthday present. He had previously tried to get several of my friends to give this to me, but they refused. I tried to be pleasant and polite at times running into him or on fb - which he just took as me still being in love with him. It was only when I got another bf that he got it.

Well, after my months after breakup, the thought of exercising and wanting a new relationship come back to me.

Hence, I started my blog on relationship. If I wanted to start Part 2, I would need some successes to put in the blog.

Meanwhile, I was having flashback of my 3 years ago encounter with a cute college girl who flirted with me alone. The fact was that I was socially, financially, and emotionally wasn't ready made me numb until recently. Heck, I might consider tracking her down and check to see if she is still single and interested but would be little disappointed on the long distance part.

I wouldn't be able to continue functioning. Perhaps it's best I don't have one

1 year ago, my 2-year relationship ended.

Feelings at the time: Distraught, Desolated, Despair.

Feelings now: eh, its okay I guess.

Conclusion: It gets better over time.

I was completely obsessed with her & when it ended I fell into a bad psychotic depression, slashed my arm 9x & spent the next 5 years seeing psychs & taking meds. I started having emotional issues in the relationship thou because it was all new to me & 1st time in my life I ever had anyone kind of close to me & I snapped when things fell apart because I couldn't handle all that emtoional stuff. I think how an Aspie would handle losing a girlfriend would depend on the specif Aspie & factors of their relationship & the breakup
