That's very sweet. Have you met her in person yet? :)

We had been friends for several months before he decided he would like to have something further with me. We kinda talked about it sometimes while we were only friends but he said he didn't know if he was "able" to due to his ASD and OCD. So I come back from a holiday, and he tells me he'd like to try being with me (he says he felt empty while I was away). I think about it for a week or two and say yes. Things get very emotional fast. In the end he delivered a paper thin excuse to break up involving my one night stand from three years ago, as his ex GF finally got the money to fly to see him.



Oh wait, that's not a relationship success story :?

she's basically my other half... except much cuter and in girl form :P .
& when she recently pretty much came out and said she wanted to get married and make babies with me someday, i was positively ecstatic :) . 'cause even just a year ago, i'd never have imagined being in this kind of situation, being that i'm an aspie and typically not that great with people, and hence honestly had serious doubts at the time about ever finding anyone. So even now, i still occasionally get that giddy, dazed, dumbstruck feeling seeing where i am now.


Lol you're young man, a girl who is talking about babies at 19 is also extremely inexperienced and also naive.

I'd tread carefully.....aspie women talking about babies is never a good sign they can't even take care of themselves..

haha, or do you just particularly like that hand :P ?


It's his engagement ring (and his hand, of course).

I feel like it would be vaguely creepy to have some random person's hand there. :)
ahhh, okay, i'd sorta wondered why it was only simple gold band, but now it makes sense haha :)


It's actually silver with an inscription inside and out. It's not really a typical engagement ring (though it's not really typical for males to wear them either), but it's meaningful, and he likes it, so that's what's important.

I gotta tell you guys....I'm really appreciating this thread, because my experience with my aspie was not at all what you are describing...

I'm glad that a lot of you have good, real relationships. It's heartening.

She's expressing natural, heartfelt desires. To scoff so condescendingly is rude and ugly behavior. 19 is not an unnatural age to have children.

I know that many aspies can and do take care of themselves, and make great mothers.

ehhh, well she wasn't talking about babies anytime real soon. Just that she wants to have them someday :) . Like she she says ideally she wants to get married when we're 24. That's still 4 years away, so not even exactly a huge rush on that, let alone children.

and actually, by this time next month we'll both be 20.

Thanks.

The inside says, "I Am My Beloved's and My Beloved Is Mine" and the outside says, "Love Forever - D & H".

Im married to another undiagnosticated asperger.. we been together for around 3 years and even if sometimes its not easy for the both of us .... I dont regret at al. In my case it was my first serious relationship, before I met him , I thou I was gonna end alone for the rest of my life, mostly due the incapacity to find someone that I could connect with, in a meaningful way ........ so far its a sucessful story, I think in our case helps that we are both in the spectrum and we respect eachother space a lot.

hi Seanmw,
Thank you for the comment :D In real life Melbi is cheerful too (sometimes a bit too hyper...), as long as the depressed/anxious side of her doesn't come out :P Melbi is on anti-depressant Pristiq and anti-psychotic Seroquel for severe anxiety control.
I love dolphins, they make me happy!! ! Love their smile and loving nature :heart:
