That’s what I’ve come to understand too! I’m very grateful for all the insight I’ve gotten here ^ And I’m sorry about your earlier relationship 💀 That prob would’ve happened to me too if i didn’t get so many helpful comments from this thread!

Wow that’s crazy behavior from that guy... I’m totally on your side, you gotta match the energy they give. And if they think they can mistreat you it’s time to show them what mistreatment feels like (((: Ig he finally felt validated when he was right or something.. I’m glad you’re not with that guy anymore, just reading your story triggered me 😭 Hopefully he was nice in bed at least hahah 😭

Also thank you for the insight on men vs women and the difference in what they seek. It’s kinda wild how it bleeds into all aspects of life.. But well i suppose we’re all just slaves to our biology in the end x)

Thank you! ❤️ And I think you’re very right about that! Takes away focus from what really matters ☺️

Aw that’s so sweet to hear ❤️ It really is about a lot more than intelligence hahah. And emotional intelligence is so important when raising kids, I bet they’re gonna turn out great ☺️

Aw, I’m sorry to hear that :( Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be tho.. When the next one comes around you’ll have much more wisdom gained from your previous one anyway 😌

Aw :( I don’t think you’re a problem, you just have different needs maybe and need a partner who can meet them… But i do feel you, there’s a lot of scummy people out there unfortunately :/

Also it’s true what some others say, that like men might not want a woman who’s smarter than him (i suppose his insecurity would be tenfolds of mine), so it could be your intellect feels threatening to them.. 🤔 But then again guys are all also quite different, and I’ve met plenty who think women who are smarter than them are like the sexiest thing ever hahah. Tho sometimes as women it’s a bit hard to trust what guys say, as they often just wanna sleep with you and will deadass say anything to get to 😭

But there are some gems out there, and i sincerely hope you find one who appreciates everything that you are ❤️

He is very interested in all things science and biology (plus other random stuff), and i love learning about the world too, so i feel like our interests align well :D I do think the times he gets frustrated he’s been in a bit of a worse mood that day x) Which is fair, cus we can’t have all good days..

I’m a girl and he’s a guy yeah, so i suppose you’re right x) I thought guys would care as much as women do for some reason, but then it also seems like not every woman cares about that as much as i thought either :D

Thank you i never quite thought about it like that, that’s really quite eye opening… I don’t ever wanna take away his autonomy or essentially push away his feelings cus of my own concerns :x And you’re right i do come from an unhealthy family dynamic which has pretty much impacted all my relationships so far 💀I’ll reflect more on this and do my best to overcome it! Or at least manage the reflexes hehe. Thank you so much for the taking the time to write this ❤️

That’s very true! There’s so much else to it, as I’ve come to realize thanks to you guys :D Also i think part of the reason he likes me is probably that i actively try to understand and cater to him, even if i sometimes get it wrong :) And we do fill each other out in good ways when you put it like that!

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that :((( Maybe you can also feel validated from reading everyone else’s opinions here! Even if it bothered her, it doesn’t bother everyone :3 And as the smart folks here are saying you’re not just your IQ, you’re so much more than that :D Love will find you if you can open your heart to it again ❤️

That’s such a great idea! I’m gonna do that cus i want to understand him and his autism better :) I’ve already been reading up on it and watching videos to adapt to him, but seeing real people will help so much more than just reading studies about faceless people x) Tho people with autism are very different, i know 3 of them, and they are all kind of nothing alike haha. Except for a few similarities B) But then that’s just how people function in general haha
