My boyfriend hasn’t medically diagnosed but I do think he is on the spectrum ( I am a doctor), his personality resonates with the ml so much, like the way they behave, talk, their libido and everything! He refers to Reddit for every disagreement we have and keeps asking me questions about how I feel In the beginning I was thrilled that someone put that much efforts into knowing me but now I feel like he is just gathering data! There is no human touch to it !! I keep crying to myself cause I can’t explain what I am feeling… I just feel lost
And whenever I ask him why he chose me to date, he replies with “ you are pretty and smart why wouldn’t I”, it seems like I just ticked some boxes nothing else

I resonate also with ml and it’s really difficult to describe. My therapist said to me that the connexion between brain, body and emotions is difficult so i can’t really understand how emotions can drive people and how to react. I know that I should be sad for someone but I don’t feel in my body the émotion. So when my partner or a friend is angry I don’t know how to react . It’s not that he don’t love you if he ask how you feel.

I mean, "ticking some boxes" can be the highest form of love for someone on the spectrum. Those boxes may be so complicated that you're actually the only human in existence that could ticks all the right boxes and no wrong boxes. Or maybe some of the right boxes weren't even on the list before you appeared. So he might just feeling love very differently from you. Also, at least for me, what you call "collecting data" is how I naturally end up expressing that I love and cherish someone. If I love them, I'm genuinely curious and want to learn about them. And cherishing is tacitly acting according to those likes and dislikes. I do feel like I can act out more normal forms of love because I've learnt them by mimicking others (I think this is common for women?), but the stuff that comes naturally is always a truer expression of love. Like, me saying "I love you" is a always a far emptier expression of love than me "collecting data".

You are a genius i love how you explained all that
Bruh what’s with these comments ? I found this pretty entertaining, the ML was pretty human he is a green flag, uke too is not that bad. Well I enjoyed reading it. Only thing is it’s not a groundbreaking story, very cliched but a good read. Kinda like damsel in distress types
You know sometimes I think I could save my life in chapters like manhwa, that way I will read a particular chapter anytime I want to remind me why I shouldn’t forgive someone
