Blindsided
I have adhd, so I’m not neurotypical but I’ve never dated anyone with autism before.
I (37f) abruptly got broken up with over the phone last night (Wednesday) by my autistic bf (36).
I had a terrible UTI on Tuesday and I was upset by the lack of attention - I texted him I was going to the dr but got a reply hours later that obviously hadn’t read the txt and I told him I was upset by that. I said what’s the point of being with someone if you can’t lean on them during such times.
I think he’s been on the verge of autistic meltdown for awhile so that’s a factor. I was really blindsided by the lack of communication overall and then being told these feelings had been going on for a few days. Last Thursday we went on a cute date and had sex and on Monday (despite my UTI) I slept over and we went and got things for his new place from the shop I work in. I wouldn’t have introduced him to my colleagues that day if I’d known.
