My boyfriend keeps thinking I'm going off him :( - March 16th 2014, 05:50 PM

I've been with my boyfriend for 1 year and 3 months and he asks me about once every few months if I'm going off him and I don't know why I tell him I love him all the time and I don't know what I'm doing to make him think that. When I ask him why does he think that he doesn't really give me a clear answer.

It just saddens me to think that he thinks this

He does have Aspergers so maybe he's finding me hard to read and thinks I may be annoyed with him when I'm genuinely not.

The most you can do is continue to tell him how much you love him. That's all you can really do at this point in you me relationship. An he'll hopefully come to believe you!

I know someone who married a man diagnosed with Asperger's. You could be right about the misinterpretation of facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, etc. I think it's strange that he's not giving you specific examples of things you say/do to suggest you're "going off him," though. Perhaps this has more to do with anxiety/insecurities/low self-esteem than Asperger's? Next time the opportunity arises, you might want to question him a bit further. Ask if you said something, then if you did something, then if you didn't do something, then if a specific thought or memory comes to mind... it may take some digging, but hopefully, the two of you can work through this. Let him know it's important to get to the bottom of this issue, even if he doesn't see the importance of doing so.
