Hi Shelli,
I too have a bf who has asperger's so i know exactly how you feel! I'm 19 and have been with my bf for
over 7mths now. Like ur bf mine too is really loving, loyal and caring, but we often have little
misunderstandings. I try so hard to understand where he is coming from but I just can't and that's really
difficult to cope with. We try to talk about everything and if we have a fight, we never leave each other before we've sorted it out. But sometimes i think will it ever work? Can i do this anymore? Even he has said
that he feels as if he doesnt belong in this world. So i wonder, if we're both living in different 'worlds' how the ###### is this going to last??? Though he is the sweetest guy i've ever met and no relationship is ever going
to be perfect - i don't want it to be. I think if it's not tough sometimes you cant truly appreciate the good bits.
I found a site with some good info if u want to check it out - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome
It's really good of you to be taking the time to find some information on Asperger's too - it sounds like you
really love him and care for him a lot. If you do some reading i think it won't only help ur relationship (coz u will be able to understand why he says/does things) but it will also help you to cope a little better.
I know it is frustrating sometimes, when he just can't seem to understand why you feel a certain way but it will take time to find ways to make communication more effective -trial and error.
Hope this helps a bit - but it's just nice to know that there are other people out there feeling the same way as me
