Getting married when you have autism

Programmer37

I was diagnosed with autism early on this year. I currently have a partner who's understands am not the chatty type.  She always tries to initiate a conversation with me. But am scared she might leave me at some point. 

My previous gf broke up with me for this exact reason. 

How do you my fellow autistics get along with their partners?

  • I often get told that I either talk to much or not enough, the former when I'm talking about somethng that interests me and not him and the latter when I don't get a chance to say more than yes, umm, no and maybe when he's off on one as he usually is.

    Your partner has chosen to be with you and you're getting married right? Why do all the what ifs? If you really need to do what ifs then go for really crazy ones, like what if the sky fell on our heads? Being ridiculous is often the best way of dealing with what ifs.
