Not bothered about wanting a partner - anyone else the same?

NAS62914

So, yes I'm of an age where everybody is married and has kids. The thing is even though I want what they have - a normal life I just don't want a partner. I've worked out over the years that I am gay bit gay people marry and have children so its not my sexuality that is holding me back. I just don't want to share my life with anyone and I dont desire closeness physically or emotionally. I am sure this is my autism. Does anyone else feel the same?

  • I sometimes think it might be nice to have a relationship, but I don't consider my life to be incomplete and I'm really not bothered about not having one. I wouldn't entirely rule it out, but certainly right now in my life I just don't know where I'd find the time and energy tbh and am not making any sort of effort towards having a partner. But then I'm also the sort of person who rarely gets lonely, and is perfectly content with my own company.
