Hi I have done something I really shouldn’t have I don’t know what I thought I would achieve. Earlier on today I made a request under Claire’s law to have my boyfriend checked out. For those who don’t know what Claire’s law is well it is a law that came into place for a person to check if their partner has been convicted of any violence or abuse. I don’t know why I have done this I have been in an abusive relationship before with a neurotypical guy who was abusive towards me. I am now dating someone on the spectrum like me and I really want to learn to trust again. My boyfriend has never been violent or abusive towards me we had our arguments but that’s it. I have told him what I have done and he is upset with the fact I don’t trust him. I want to trust again and I regret doing what I’ve done how can I make things right again I hate the fact I have done this and hurt my boyfriend by doing this.
I have told him what I have done he very upset by it but understands. He told me about his past and he been in trouble but not for being violent.
I’d imagine he is upset at the lack of trust, more than anything. I hope your relationship is able to overcome this issue. It’s completely understandable for you to have done what you did, in my opinion. Forgive yourself.
