    My partner (ASD) and I (NT) have relationship problems. Looking for advice/different perspectives!

    We tried two times but those times didn't work out. I let the topic rest, because I didn't want to put a lot / too much pressure on him. Soms weeks ago I brought up the topic though and he told me that the relationship sometimes felt unstable to him and therefore he had been procastinating (so I...

    My partner (ASD) and I (NT) have relationship problems. Looking for advice/different perspectives!

    Nope, we both aren't, but it could have been a great explanation so thanks for thinking along :)

    My partner (ASD) and I (NT) have relationship problems. Looking for advice/different perspectives!

    Thank you so much. This is so helpful to know! Based on his past choices and our dynamic I do believe this applies to him. Further, I know that he can talk in a very honest and literal way (some things I love about him), but I wasn't sure about this moment because it was indeed difficult to...

    My partner (ASD) and I (NT) have relationship problems. Looking for advice/different perspectives!

    Yeah, I don't think anyone (men/women/aspie/neurodiverse/people) really likes the feeling of them haha. However, I have a strong feeling that your partners were able to put them on at least and might like other things such as oral, which doesn't apply to my partner. I've never met someone as...

    My partner (ASD) and I (NT) have relationship problems. Looking for advice/different perspectives!

    Thank you so much for pointing this out! Hopefully I didn't hurt someone by referring to the term ASD, as I totally agree it's not an illness or something bad. I've seen quite some people refer to the word 'aspie'. It's not a common used word in my mother language, but I will try to use it...

    Thank you for opening up and sharing your story. I'm so happy that you learned to feel comfortable with being intimate. Especially as it was something that brought you joy (and probably/hopefully still does). I haven't made my decision yet and I don't think I can without another good...

    My partner (ASD) and I (NT) have relationship problems. Looking for advice/different perspectives!

    Hi, Thank you for the elaborate response! This is actually quite useful, including the advice on the objective. I must admit that I was not sure about the objective before creating this topic. I suppose the split/stay analysis makes the most sense, but in the end I think I was hoping for a bit...

    My partner (ASD) and I (NT) have relationship problems. Looking for advice/different perspectives!

    Thank you for your thoughts! I really appreciatie it! I definately agree that intimacy issues occur everywhere. The reason I automatically connected it to ASD (at least for some part) was that we did try to have intercourse a few times, but it was a very long time ago and didn't go well. One...

    My partner (ASD) and I (NT) have relationship problems. Looking for advice/different perspectives!

    Thank you for your response! What bothers me a lot is that I'm not sure if I put too much weight on the phrase that he doesn't see a future with me, because he also doesn't nessecairily see a future without me. He was willing to fight for it, but he may have said that out of pressure and guilt...

    My partner (ASD) and I (NT) have relationship problems. Looking for advice/different perspectives!

    Hi everyone, This is my first time being on this forum and I'm looking for some perspective on my relationship problems with my partner. Hope to find some fresh insights here :). My partner (officially diagnosed with PDD-NOS as a kid) and I (NT) have been together for almost 3 years. We're...
