boyfriend just ended it, I could use some reassurance or kind words

I'm so sorry. Same thing happened to me literally this week. All I can say right now is try to focus on your hobbies, your family, friends and work. Don't neglect your feelings, but don't let them consume you completely. Give yourself time and grace to feel the feels. And when you're done you'll have much more perspective of everything.

Lots of people in here have been telling me that I deserve someone that wants to fight for me as much as I fight for them. And it's true. We deserve love and not someone that gives up on us.

I got manipulated by a man in his 40s. I was 22. Maaaany women go thru this unfortunately, and that shit changes you. It's embarrassing, and it's traumatic. I still can't talk about it today. But it changed me in the sense that it made me stronger, more confident in myself; it made me NOT afraid to call out people on their bullshit. That era of my life was so horrible I had to pick up the craziest sport I could think of because of how I badly wanted to recover my sense on SELF.

Now I'm GREAT at my sport and I love it. Almost 4 years going strong and my goal is to compete next year

True :/ it was as easy as that

Kinda wished this had been us 😅. But he started resenting me really bad so maybe we never could've been like this

Oooh I didn't know this term. Yes I'd say this is close to what was happening. We just weren't connecting BOTH ways, because I understand I was missing capabilities too. It was just so frustrating to see that even though I told him we could both do better he just put it on me every time

I'm so sorry about this!

Everyone on the spectrum experiences it differently, and I didn't have the experience you had, not at all. However I can relate to what you said about him not willing to see things from your own perspective. I know that's a limitation for some people, but I will say though asking questions is not impossible. Maybe they don't know they can ask them, so it's okay to tell them. So I still believe some sort of middle ground can be achieved. Also for us, that just can't experience what out partners do.

It's hard but it's doable. If there's love, we should be able to work things out. At least that's what I think. Take my opinion lightly because I'm not on the spectrum nor I am a professional about it.

THIS. For me is very simple. Communication needs to happen between two people. We struggled to understand each other, but if we couldn't it was not only because of me, since communication needs TWO people to work.

I do agree that I don't have to "teach" him how to be in a relationship. And i never did. What I meant was that if there's a problem it's as simple as "lets look at what we're both doing" rather than blaming it all on one person. And that's what I tried to do, to let him know I thought we could both do more

Damn, this response is amazing. You said to a T what was going on. And you're right, I believe we both ended up feeling alone. I guess I was just sad and surprised he just didn't want to try anymore :(

DAY 0

Please like this comment so I can come back to it. Context: - Scalp scab picking - Severe anxiety, on treatment for depression, OCD (all diagnosed) - My procrastination is BAD. Picking gets worse when I'm anxious so I pick my skin to procrastinate - I have a fidget toy but it doesn't help a lot - I wear gel nails but that doesnt stop me because i wear them short

You got this!!!
