I’m autistic, but pretty good at masking. My boyfriend comes from a better off family and landed in rural Appalachia. I will say things sometimes that aren’t considered rude where I’m from (where we live) and feel confident that the other person understands what I’m saying. He will often interject and say I’m being rude.

Example: tonight I pointed out that a girls accent was cute, she wasn’t from here. He made the interaction awkward by pointing out that I was being rude in front of her. I thought it was a normal interaction. The girl and I have good rapport as she’s our regular bartender.

Idk, sometimes it feels like he’s reeling in his hilljack girlfriend. I wanna know if I’m just embarrassing or if I’m overreacting.
