Relationships

I met a guy online who I thought the world of. Unfortunately, my Autism being somewhat severe in places made it really hard-going as he was keen straight away and a bit obsessive – he also had Autism, so I think he found it difficult to give me space and understand how I was feeling. Anyway eventually I broke it off but he messaged me again, and then again... and then later on accused me of not being genuine because I broke it off, even though he messaged me again to get back in touch, and because I wouldn’t share my phone number, which IMO is only wise and safe.

I am disappointed it didn’t work out because I really liked him but there was some Red Flags, like his not giving me space and then suddenly accusing me of not being genuine. Even said I was messing him around like a puppet on a string which I found more than hurtful. But despite it all I loved him and had he been patient and more understanding to my own needs and feelings, we might still be together now. I am difficult to deal with, I know I am, but I feel hurt that he treated me that way and didn’t give me time to adjust to a relationship.

I don’t know if I’ll try another relationship again.

I think go for it if you want to, my experience wasn’t great but yours might be different. Just be careful and don’t be upset if it doesn’t work out.
