I have been seeing someone for three months. I feel very comfortable with him (I'm also a him) and actually I sometimes think he has aspie traits too. I really like him and we stay at each others places most weekends.

I sometimes find it difficult (like I often get stomach upsets when I'm away) but on the whole it's been going well and I like staying with him.

He was away for a while over the holidays and so I haven't seen him in nearly three weeks. I missed him a lot and felt very lonely while he was away - and I never get lonely, I'm always happy with my own little world but this time I missed him a lot and somebody told me that I must love him - which I don't think has ever happened to me before.

Anyway, so after being away he doesn't want me to go over this weekend - he said he needs to catch up on his sleep - and instead we are going to see a movie on Sunday afternoon.

Someone I work with said this could be the beginning of the end and I should prepare myself for it to finish.

Is this true?

It could be true, but on the other hand it could just be that he needs sleep. After all, he did make plans to see you over the weekend.

If you're worried, you should talk to him as he's the only one that can tell you what's really going on.

Sounds false, he sounds like he is genuinely tired and really needs to catch up on sleep, after all he has been flying back and the timezones are different and it can be quite difficult adjusting to the current timezone for particular location.

The fact he still wants to see you, I think that is good and he does love you so I wouldn't let what have been told get to you. :)

I truly, truly, have to take a really solid amount of time to sleep too much, stay in my pijamas and recover at my home after even a week away. Sometimes I feel guilty or like Im being lazy but it is way better to get caught up on sleep than make myself sick.

I would not worry about it, enjoy your own interests and take care of yourself while he is taking care of himself and then you will enjoy your time together more when you do meet up.

I think you could be on to something and your instincts may be trying to tell you that so you should definitely stay aware for any distant or suspicious behavior, you need to trust your instincts. However he may be genuine and that isn't a reason to jump to conclusions but if your instincts are truly telling you something is wrong, you need to stay alert and prepare yourself in case the relationship does end up turning out badly.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I should just take him at his word and see how things are on Sunday.

when the credits start rolling before my eyes, i know it is over.

i know it is over when there is no more left in the story of our association to unfold.

i feel a blankness of affection for, and interest in them and it is "The End".


i can not rewind.

Thanks for the advice again, I think everything is ok. This is all very new to me so when people say things about what this or that means I guess I need to be careful.

it went very well today and I think we are back on track :D

Glad to hear it went well. I sometimes let people's comments get to me, as well.

Personally...I try not to listen to what other people say. There is always going to be someone around who would try to put a doubt in your mind about a relationship. They don't really know what's between you and the other person, they are just guessing.

We broke up last week. He said he's been thinking about it for a while. I pretended to agree with him just to save my pride but I was upset. I think the big difference is that he gets paid loads of money and goes on lots of holidays every year but I don't and I'd never be able to go with him (and in many cases not want to as I'm not great at travelling, especially to hot places).
