Trying to understand?

Tryingtounderstand

Hi. I recently met my now ex partner on a dating site, we met up and the realtionship went really well, he told me he had austism which didnt bother me, it made him him! Yesterday I received a text message telling me he didnt want the relationship, i thought fine,  after 6 months i want an explation, we met up & he explained that he is still in love with me but the austism is stopping his ability to be in a relationship, we have agreed  stay friends however I need to understand? I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this situation for me? 

Thanks T

  • All of the stuff you have listed below is him, it's like you know him. I never forced him to go to any clubs or pubs and totally understood. 

    I can't understand how he can hold so many amazing friendships, but not a relationship? He keeps telling me that I can do better and im worth more, like he doesn't understand how amazing he actually is? If anybody was punching above their weight it was me. 

    He will not talk about any emotions or anything, that was one of the things I liked about him, however it is now proving difficult now we are going through a break up.

    I do not suffer from Autism myself and he keeps telling me I will never understand his mind, but if he doesn't talk to me how am I meant to? 

    I just want to help him because he doesn't come from a stable/supportive family, I feel like he has no one and that kills me? 

    Thanks for your reply.
