...See more Hi guys I'm Ted- lovely to meet you all! I had a nasty breakup a little while ago. We weren't together long at all (two months) but we fell deeply in love after being close friends for about a year. We were both 19 and loved music so we had a lot in common. We both gave and received, got intimate regularly and told each other if something was wrong. We reassured each other. I fully supported her and it was all acknowledged. I was at her college graduation and she came to my bands' shows. She would say, "You don't change for anyone. You are so genuine and I want to be with you forever." One time, we went to an electronic music festival as I wanted to experience new things with her out of my comfort zone. My mild autism kicked in mid-performance and I said I didn't feel good. She remained distant for the rest of the day and on other social outings after. Soon after, she texted me this: 'I don't think this is going to work out. We're not on the right lines for each other. I can't deal with self centred people. I've seen the real you. You used me and f***ed me over. If you really loved me you'd try to sort this out. I need a real man in my life.' I was very upset as I gave her my best and vice versa but it still wasn't enough for her and it ended just like that. I also lost some close friends who accused me when I was just being myself. I would love to get your perspectives on this as it would help me to understand things more. Thank you so much- I truly appreciate it! ❤
