Autistic boyfriend cheated accidentally

Post Reply New Topic

It sounds to me like he's dealing with some very serious issues ATM & wants some space. You should ask yourself if that type of behaviour is something you could deal with on a regular basis from him if you were to get married. BTW I don't think being drunk is a good excuse for cheating because he made a conscious choice to start drinking. This would be like if someone chose to drive home drunk from a bar & caused a car wreck that killed someone & the drunk driver gets a free pass because he was not in his right mind due to being drunk.

How does someone accidently cheat on their partner?

How does someone accidently cheat on their partner?

Because the sex was not completely consensual? From the description in the OP, she took advantage of him when he was drunk, meaning that the sex was actually unwanted. That could be considered rape if the genders were reversed.

If she started riding him without his consent, that would be rape.

This is not something i would normally do and it's a weird topic in general. My bf is a high functioning autistic individual, you wouldn't know he has it unless he tells you. He had issues with social cues and emotional responses. The two of us live apart in different countries and met through a game we play together online. He's the sweetest person ever and never lies about anything. We've had issues in the past with communication and he sometimes melts down and shuts down communication but we always get back on track when we talk it over.

My issue is that he ha been having a rough time with work life. They decided as a group at work to shut down early and everyone take the night off to go drinking together. He unfortunately over did the drinking and his inhibitions and sense of self wasn't right. A girl he works with has been attracted to him and snuck in his room at night and they slept together. He completely melted down and ran away from home hours away from where he lives to go to a friends place to just leave everything behind.

I'm pretty angry about the situation but not really at him. I'm angry at the girl who blew up our life just because she found him attractive. My bf has now shut down and is miserable about it all and i don't know how to help him understand i dont blame him. We were supposed to meet 3 days after the incident happen and i have rescheduled my flight to christmas week instead to give him time to calm down and chose if he wants to fix things. I think because we haven't been intimate I am not as attached to being angry at him about it like he wants me to be.

I am just lost on how to help him or if I should allow him to end our relationship as he wants because of this one mistake.

If a drunk woman decides to sleep with a guy, the man is painted as a rapist. But if the same happens to a guy, he cheated than being raped by the woman? Why isn't it that a drunk woman cheated when she decided to sleep with a man while intoxicated?

If your B/F functions normally then he knows the difference between right and wrong. Most married men who get roaring drunk would never cheat on their wives. No there is no such thing as "accidentally" sleeping with a co-worker.
