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

  • I wouldn't even date.

    A friend last year made it known to me he wanted to date me.  I ran a mile from then on.  There was no chance. If he hadn't made that known he might have got to meet in a cafe seperate from our mutual friends. But from that moment on I didn't even give him a chance. I feel guilty now for reasons not for here. The guilt has gone but not at first.

    Dating can be impossible for us and the old clique is me not you, really is reality.

    Don't think about it in terms of relationship as in dating.  Just be mutual friends and let things happen naturally.

    You done nothing wrong and neither them. It very hard for us.  Best you can do is just having a natural friendship and let nature take its course. It hard for you may be but the best way.

    Stick to texting and facebook friends may be and enjoy what you have as friends.

    It nothing personal I don't think. it just very very hard for us to 'date'. If it happens one is is so lucky. But anything like me, it will never happen because I run a mile if i even wiff anything stronger than good friends.

    Hope that helps a little
