2 NDs in a bed? Recipe for success or disaster. Dating.

tophatstomper

I would like to find another girlfriend and be in love again. This has made me think of finding and hoping to date someone with similar issues and problems

I have never dated someone with similar issues or someone ND, but I met someone a long time ago who I really got along with and was ND and thought to myself - I could date this woman but I was taken for so not interested at the time.

I have been thinking about it and it could potentially be wonderful, we would help one another and have a good idea of why they behave the way they do.

But, I also think 'chain reactions' and nuclear explosions.

I would like to know from other people if this is a good idea or not?

  • I'm really the  last person to ask about relationships, but I think that, as with lots of things, it could go either way depending on your individual personalities.

    When I started dating my fiancee, we both thought she was neurotypical.  Now (for reasons unrelated to me) she iswondering if she is neurodivergent (ASD or ADHD) and I am wondering why we didn't think of it earlier, not least because she is scarily like me in terms of personality and skills.  Certainly there are advantages to the situation in that neither of us is pushing the other to do things we don't want to do, like going to huge parties (or having one for our wedding), but there are disadvantages too in that neither of us works full-time which puts our finances under strain and we can both get stuck in unhelpfully rigid modes of thinking about our future.  We haven't lived together yet, though, so that's a whole aspect I can't comment on yet.

    I agree what you said about personalities. It sounds like the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in your case.
