My account was hacked and all my funds were stolen. I've tried everything to contact them and I can't get ahold of them whatsoever. Completely ignoring me. The app won't let me sign in. I can't reset my pw even after verifying my identity because it just gives me some error.
I've tried calling and to no avail. I give up. Worst customer service ever.
I did a bunch of research and I guess it's not truly wireless. But I'm still unsure if it's worth the extra money.
I'm the autistic partner in the relationship, and I'm genuinely looking for advice from people who've been through something similar. I love my girlfriend more than anything, and I know she loves me too. Our relationship is honestly wonderful in so many ways. We enjoy spending time together, we care deeply about each other, and we both want this to work. The biggest thing we struggle with is communication.
Our arguments aren't abusive or explosive. We don't scream at each other, call each other names, or intentionally try to hurt one another. But we do fight a lot. The frustrating part is that we end up arguing over things that seem so small because we misunderstand each other. Most of the time we end up apologizing to each other because it usually always just a misunderstanding.
A lot of the time I'll say something with one intention, but she'll interpret it completely differently and get hurt by it. Other times she'll say something, and I'll interpret it differently than she meant. It's like we're speaking the same language but processing it in completely different ways.
One thing I've realized about myself is that I over-explain everything. My brain wants to understand every detail and make sure there's no room for misunderstanding, so I end up writing really long messages trying to explain exactly what I mean. The problem is that she's the opposite. Long messages overwhelm her, especially when emotions are already high. They create anxiety for her, and instead of helping, they make things worse.
I completely understand why she feels that way. Everyone processes information differently, and I don't think either of us is "wrong." It's just that our communication styles seem to clash. I'm trying really hard to learn how to keep things shorter, more direct, and less overwhelming, but it's honestly difficult because that's just not how my brain naturally works. I worry that if I leave out details, I'll be misunderstood, so I end up explaining even more... which ironically creates the exact problem I was trying to avoid.
I've also noticed that almost all of our arguments happen over text. I'm starting to wonder if texting is a huge part of the problem. Text removes tone of voice, facial expressions, body language, and immediate clarification. Maybe we're trying to have conversations that should really happen in person or over the phone. The problem is that our schedules are pretty busy, so texting ends up being our main form of communication.
I want to make it clear that my girlfriend really is trying. She's been putting in effort to understand my autism and how my brain works, and I know that isn't always easy. I appreciate her more than she probably realizes. Honestly, I think a lot of people would've walked away by now, but she's still here trying because she loves me. That means everything to me, and it makes me want to become a better partner for her.
I'm also trying to understand her better because I know this isn't just about me being autistic. I know I have things I need to work on, and I know she has her own needs and communication style too. Neither of us wants to keep having the same misunderstandings over and over again.
So I guess I'm asking: has anyone else been in a relationship like this? Especially if one partner is autistic and the other isn't. What actually helped? Did you set rules for arguments? Did you stop texting about serious topics? Did either of you have to change your communication style? Were there any books, resources, or techniques that genuinely made a difference?
I'd really appreciate hearing from both autistic people and non-autistic partners. I don't want to be "right." I don't want to win arguments. I just want us to understand each other better because I truly see a future with this woman, and I want to do everything I can to make this relationship healthy and long-lasting.
