I broke up with my boyfriend who I believe to have Aspergers. It was followed by immediate regret because he told me that he was trying very hard, yet I didn't feel that he was. I took it back, and met a women with Aspergers herself, that confirmed his peculiar ways were signs of Aspergers, and not to break up because of them. A week later, he ended up breaking up with me, but I miss him so much, and now that I understand more the way that his mind works, that his communication style and other things that bothered me didn't really. He did get a stupid roommate that became so involved in our relationship, I believe that the arguing and the influence of that idiot is what pushed him over the edge, him seeing me as a person that brought un needed drama into his life. My question is this: He is very resolute in his decision making. He has told me that he does not want a romantic relationship with anyone, at all, and that he wants to focus on work and his son. (He is divorced with a 7 year old). I want to know if there is anyway of him changing his mind and falling back in love with me. (If he were). I really love him, but I know that the friend that moved in has known him for 10 years, and he and I have only been together for 6 months. I want him to love me and want to be with me again, to enjoy me...but how realistic is that? He told me point blank that he doesn't want to put in the work required to have a relationship. Please, someone help. I am broken hearted and confused that he could go from loving me and talking to me daily, to not really wanting to even talk to me.

I would stay FAR away from him, in most cases. But you never know.

He doesn't want a relationship; it's obvious.

I understand the "challenge" aspect of this situation. You want to "challenge" yourself in the sense that you want to persuade him to come back to you. This is a normal human emotion; I've experienced this myself with women.

What aspects of him do you love? Do you love his mind?
