Advice for adult relationships?

HarQ

Not yet diagnosed, but on the waiting list.

Currently struggling with just ‘coasting’ in my relationship of 4 years and wondering if it’s an autistic trait and if so, are there any management techniques?

I can't come to a decision about the future, even though I love my partner, and they're struggling with the lack of commitment.

Are there any other common issues in relationships to look out for (this is my first serious one) and management strategies for these?

  • I'd say try couples counselling too. All relationships go through rough patches, once the initial thrill of being in love and having found someone, everyday life intrudes and you have to think about the normal everyday parts of life, who does the laundry, the cooking etc, even who cleans the toilet! None of these are glamorous and definately not in the Hollywood version of relationships, but don't forget a relationship is two people relating, go and relate!
