[quote=Anonymous]I'm married but I relate to many of the previous posts. I was the single friend who panicked and ran away every time a guy showed interest in me. Even if I had previously considered the possibility of dating him before, once he expresses interest, the situation suddenly feels suffocating, and I would come up with endless nitpicky reasons why I couldn't date him.

I realized I would end up alone forever if I continued down my path, so I did a lot of self-reflection and ended up dating my now-husband. I was surprised a handsome, nice, smart, and successful guy like him was single. He was nerdy and super awkward on our initial dates. So much so that I assumed he'd never had a girlfriend. It turns out he's had multiple long-term girlfriends and is in fact just very awkward. We connected over a shared nerdy interest. After kids, I discover that in addition to the ADHD I already knew about, he likely has mild ASD. The nerdy interest is actually a hyperinterest. Chaos ensues and I almost divorce him. Later on, someone on the spectrum casually suggests that I have mild ASD. I'm not 100% convinced about myself, but I realize both my parents have mild ASD. Our marriage works now with a lot of effort on his part. Most of the time, it's great.[/quote]
