So I am an AS. I had a few "girlfriends" during my short lifetime of 23 years, but they were never very serious or very interested in me. It almost felt like they were just trying to be nice to me. I recently have fallen in love for the first time and it is the most wonderful thing I have experienced. It is also of course, the most complicated frustrating thing to figure out because of my AS. The lady that I am in love with also happens to be my boss and is married. Now before you judge, she is from India and was part of an arranged marriage to a husband that does not love her... She is the woman I have always dreamed of. She is in love with me too, but I haven't been able to bring myself to tell her that I have AS yet. I am trying to earn her love without her knowing that I am AS, because I am afraid if I tell her, it might just make her be with me to be supportive. Sometimes she gets really frustrated with me because of the communication problems that I have. She always gives me another chance, no matter how much of a ass I make of myself sometimes. I love her so much, she means the world to me, no one during my whole life has been able to touch me like she has. Yet I feel like I should walk away for her benefit. She deserves so much better than someone like me, and am really afraid of hurting her emotionally. I realize that the relationship wouldn't be considered wise or healthy even to an NT, but I don't want to give up on something this special.
The advice that I am asking of you guys is what I should do?? Stay and make it work, I know that I need to tell her I have AS, and I also know that I will never completely win her because of her marriage, but I am willing to share her because she is worth it. Or should I just walk away for her protection. The LOGICAL argument is to leave her, so I don't hurt her. My heart tells me otherwise, this is the greatest thing I have ever felt.
