| NT here. Poly with two partners (one Aspie, the other also NT). I think it's working out for all of us. Honesty and communication are important. |

| Makes sense tll you have kids, when AS will be very much on the outs. You and your husband will have your hands full for a while with work and childcare and will be more interested in sleep than in sex. Anytime you go off to visit AS, NT has childcare duties. There'll b a lot more work at your hous... |

| but it didn't work out because my needs weren't being fulfilled. I always find the the rhetoric of polyamory so offputting -- all this stuff about "needs being fulfilled", as if people are sort of passive, infantile, requiring others to come fulfill their needs. There's this weird entitlement about... |

| You can be polyamorous and sexually monogamous, since a polyamorous relationship isn't necessarily defined by sex. It is also possibly to identify as polyamorous (as an orientation) yet be monogamous in practice (i.e. theoretically, you would not object to having more than one partner but, for whate... |

| I can't say how all women approach online dating. In my case, I read the profiles first (while I'm waiting for my slow internet to load the photos). If, and only if, the profile is interesting do I even bother to look at the photos. Again, I can't speak for all women, but I look for things that mak... |

| Stalk, they are not going very well... So we went out to have sushi from 19.00 to 22.00 o clock. It was ok. I did get annoyed by him at certain times. Especially when he talked very loud at the restaurant. One time one of the waitresses even asked him of he could tone it down a little bit. It all m... |

| I have never been bombared with messages as a woman I wonder if this is really true for most women. As mentioned, he meaned only the "reasonable attractive" woman, so the 2% that look like an actress, not the 98% looking like normal womans look like. Ohh I see. :wink: Heh. Just for the record, I'm ... |

| Ultimately, if you don't feel like your needs are being met, then you need to consider whether this is the right relationship for you. |

| Relationships can be confusing. It is also entirely possible to like/love someone and realize that the two of you are not compatible relationship-wise. Give it some time. Get to know him better and also take some time to figure out what you need to be happy in a relationship. |

| It's probably worthwhile to have a discussion as to how he displays affection and how that matches (or doesn't) with your needs. Relationships are two-way streets. In fact, this specific problem was why my Aspie partner and I originally split. We are now back together, albeit in a polyamorous relati... |
