My partner has never been one for cuddles and intimacy. We`ve been together 4 years and are due to marry July 2022 however the issue of intimacy, touching and cuddling has always been around - more from my side.
She is awaiting results of Autism Assessment, aged 46 years, she`s convinced she`s had the condition and does show traits which I am trying to understand and learn - although finding it difficult.
Honeymoon period of our relationship, whilst I add she did drink alcohol, we were all over each other then one morning she switched - it was light a different person and on an intimacy and emotional feelings level nothing....
She loves me, wants to be with me but doesn`t enjoy touching, intimacy or sex; makes her feel uncomfortable and she doesn`t enjoy it. I massage her feet as a relaxation for her and she sees that as a love thing and makes her feel good, occasionally we`ll hold hands but it is, like other aspects, on her terms.
I enjoy sex and intimacy, cuddling etc. So I`m asking if anyone has experienced these issues - thoughts. I am not autistic and find it hard to live as one without having the internal workings if you like on an Autistic Adult.
Thoughts please.....
I`m also looking to join a local Autism Group; I live in Cannock Staffordshire.
Kind rgards,
Kevin.
