My boyfriend has Aspergers syndrome, which doesnt matter much, but it makes everything harder. He was all excited to go out with me, and i really like him, but he cant talk to me when im around other people and he stays 4 feet away from me at all times. I feel bad because I know its because of his Aspergers, its not really a relationship if you barely talk in person and cant be around the person. Im trying to cope with it, but I make him so nervouse Im not sure if this whole relationship thing is a good idea. I dont wanna hurt him but Im not sure its gonna work out and theres no way I can break up with him without looking like a jerk. Its not his fault that he has Aspergers, but Im miserable and panicing. What do I do? |

You knew going in it was not only going to be different, it was going to be a little harder or at least you should have. All you can do is speak honestly and explain it is about you, which basically it is. You don't have to be a jerk about it and the 2 of you can still talk. If you can't hack it, you owe it to him to be honest and leave the relationship. |

Can I ask how long have you known this person? You clearly care a lot about him - a relationship at 16 is hard enough under any circumstances, but coping with something like Aspergers syndrome is an additional strain for both of you. |
