maybe its the weather. maybe im jut letting stress get to me too much for too long. whatever the cause i am not happy. i have been dating my boyfriend for a year and he is always on my nerves. i havent been in a mature relationship before him and hes only had one total in his life. he has autism and while i dont judge him for that at ALL i do get tired of some of his quirks. im tired of always initiating everything. he wouldnt even kiss me til wed been dating for like 4-5 months. im tired of always making the move. im tired of his whining. im sure hes tired of me too. i have told him i loved him in the past with no response and now im not sure i do love him. we talk every day but i only see him 1-2 week for not very long. and im ok with that.

im going through a LOT of stress right now. its really affecting me. i dont know it this is just a result of stress or not but im just not happy and i hate that. im just not happy.

Is there any hope the stress will pass? If so I'd wait it out. If not I'd ask your boyfriend whether he loves you and why he's not initiating anything.

he isnt very good at communication. i try my best to be patient. i dont think he even knows someting is up. i dont want to do anything ill regret. i just dont know if i want to continue like this.

i dont think anyone else will want me either. im not that great. whats worse is he IS a great guy. but im just not happy.

I feel like that about my husband at times (like now) Track the feeling and if at any point you feel differently figure out why. After 4-5 months examining the bad and good then decide what's best for you.

Maybe it is you, maybe it isn’t. As for nobody else wanting you, that’s just not true. There are other people out there, and it’s very likely someone else could be a better fit.

I agree with bizi. Try talking to him about it. It sounds like there is miscommunication somewhere.

Like you said, maybe he doesn't know what's going on because of his poor communication skills. Maybe he thinks he is being a great boyfriend.

Also, as a possibility, he could have anxiety about initiating things. Maybe he's scared of making you feel pressured or pushed into things. Or maybe he doesn't know what you want and is scared of doing something offensive. And people with autism I know can have difficulty interpreting social stuff, so that could play into his possible anxiety, or fuel it.
