Hi I'm Becky but everyone calls me Bex.
Anyway, I'm autistic, I was diagnosed when I was like 9 I think. I don't remember exactly when bit it was around that age. Anyway I've always struggled with different things like sensory problems and being overloaded by people and crowded places. Usually I vomit if I get to overloaded *rolls eyes*
So anyway I've always wanted to be in a relationship, just because I've always wanted to get married and have a baby. So my sister introduced me to a guy she knows and we've been seeing each other. We haven't really done much, like not kissed yet but we have hugged. I find it a bit confusing but I'm trying really hard to make this work.
Anyway I've always been quite childish, I still like Winnie the Pooh and children's TV programs. Yesterday my boyfriend came over and he asked if I would stop watching Winnie the Pooh, I asked why and he said it was embarrassing for someone my age to watch it.
That upset me a lot and I feel bad now. I really want our relationship to work but I can't really change who I am can i? Or do you think I should try? I don't want to be lonely.
I have an example to disprove his perceived image that being composed and acting like an adult and amazing girlfriend cannot have pooh with her or anything from childish items category
but it is a very convoluted chain of reasoning, i will give my example for your situation, as if I was in your situation
In Poland there is a branch of poetry creating short, 4 or 8 lines, 8-13 sylables incorporating various rhyming sytems used to merily depict scenes from every day life called fraszki (singular is fraszka), english does not have an equivalent
One particular poem writer of them name Julian Tuwim, in polish culture his workings are considered childish very much like Pooh in the eyes of we know who. :P (recognise reference?straying of topic)
Therfor he would assume that surely about all of those poems as well.
Meaning that one particular poem as well
Looking at its shapes,color, petals, buds, leaves,even thorns - I think: rape!How beautiful everything is!What a spotless everything!What a harsh perfection in her,Rose, rose, formalist!Rose, rose, fear God!
Ergo he might never find out on what he missed out,
Childish thing it is, is it? (another reference to well know movie character, guess who?)
cheer up, they will queue up, if you present your case in the correct light :P
