[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boyfriend is diagnosed neurodivergent. I love him a bunch. He is insanely smart and we have a lot in common.

His neurodivergence causes him to be super blunt all the time. He is very direct in expressing this he doesn’t like about me, though I know overall he loves me deeply.

We are talking marriage and I feel reluctant to [b]marry someone who may complain about my traits regularly[/b]. Anyone have experience
With this?[/quote]

Never heard of this with ND people.
They usually mainly focus on their personal needs and hyperfocus, and don’t notice what’s going on elsewhere or with someone else. [/quote]

No that’s you, not them :)

My kid is ND and definitely notices more than his personal needs. If anything, he is unaware of his personal needs and could benefit from more insight. But he is really really good at learning social rules once they are taught to him, and really motivated to make me happy and be with friends.

OP I can’t say if this relationship will last long term but I recommend speaking directly to him about things that hurt your feelings and working out ways to talk about issues that don’t hurt your feelings. See what happens. [/quote]
