I am in college and I had been dating my Aspie boyfriend for 5 months. He broke up with me a few days ago and explained that he did not feel the same way I did. But all the signs of his love were there. Everywhere I went he wanted to be with me, holding my hand, kissing me, making me laugh with his slightly annoying little quirks. Then all of a sudden this happens. I went into such a shock that I had to drive the 1.5 hour trip home and skip my classes. Once home I bawled until the point where I stared blankly into space for several hours, hardly responsive.
He told me that it was important to him that we both feel the same way about each other, and he told me that he didn't love me the way I loved him. But the thing is, he did. He didn't show his love the way I did but nonetheless his love was always there. I explained to him that with his Asperger's he is never going to completely understand love or feel it the same way that most people do. I told him it didn't matter because I loved him and he loved me, and I was not ever going to give up. He just kept repeating that he didn't think he loved me.
I know that the two of us have always been a perfect match, and everyone who knows us knows it too. One question I would ask is, is he really gone forever? Is there something I could do to fix us? Was there something I could have done to prevent this? Or was this inevitable...
