Is there anyone out there who has shared a romantic interest with someone who was an
"Asperger-like" person who became angry over percieved or actual mistreatment of some sort , and the "Asperger - type" person could not forgive you?
I have read a few people mention this , and I have expierienced the same thing myself . I was wondering if anyone has ever had any success obtaining forgiveness?? Has anyone ever proceeded to try to obtain forgiveness AFTER it reached the ( what seems to be famous ) "I feel like you're stalking me" stage ? ( I know of 4 simular situations , where this has happened ) If you did continue to try to obtain forgiveness , has anyone ever had any luck ?? Or , wished they had never tried ? Or, was the one who could not forgive and had a simular reaction to the one discribed above ? Do tell...

P.S. can someone please tell me how to spell simular. I cannot find spellcheck !

I have been in a similar situation.

It's spelled "similar".

I read about that , Tim . That was one of the fore-mentioned "similar" ( thanks ) situations I was referring to. I am sorry to hear that things did not go well for you .

I've never been fortunate enough to find someone with AS to fall for.

I can't say in a romantic situation as I haven't been in one, but I can say it's nearly completely impossible for me to forgive someone if I was "wronged" in a significant fashion. Oddly though, of those few people that have done so, I don't feel ill will towards anymore, I just avoid them and don't care.

*creates a neat little a check-list*

- Asperger's girlfriend? (check)
- Problems so far? (zero)
- Am i surprised by this? (check)


as far as i'm concerned she's actually prolly the most tolerant person i've ever met :) .

i sometimes feel like i give her bordering on uncomfortable levels of attention (i can't help it, i'm just naturally too affectionate for my own good), but rather than bother her, it seems to go right over her head for the most part, & she's pretty darn lovey right back. Not quite to the same extent, but it's a plus in my book.
Also my other aspie quirkiness doesn't seem to bother her much either :o .
Thank God for awesome aspie girls :P

unless maybe i'm not giving too much attention?...
honestly i can never be quite sure. What's the average amount? (rhetorical question, i don't really expect most of you guys to know. Hypothetical/Theoretical knowledge doesn't count) it's one of those subtle relationship social things that as an aspie i really have trouble with sometimes. trouble finding the balance between too much and too little.

When I was a child, teenager and younger adult, I had difficult times forgiving certain people in my life. I wouldn't say I ever forgave them as much as I finally learned to let go of the hate I held inside myself for them. I've never forgotten but I rarely reflect on the matters. I have actually forgiven two people because they asked me to forgive them and I knew they were sincerely sorry. But sadly our relationship was never the same. I felt I no longer cared for them as much as I did before. Little petty things do not bother me. I will say something so the person will know and move on. I hate to argue. All this is so new to me. These are wonderful questions Sho Sho. Thank you for asking. :)
