Honestly, I’d rather be single than be with someone who demands more from me than I can comfortably give them. It’s been years since I dated someone neurotypical.
Both my partners are on the spectrum and we have a comfortable balance. The fact that nobody gets offended over bullshit like “tone of voice” goes a long way, too - we all have difficulty regulating that. We know it’s related to our energy levels, not to our emotions.
With that said, I hope whatever happens works out for you. I know it’s a painful experience to find such an incompatibility between yourself and a person you love.
Your Partner seems to be an asshole to “threaten you” if it doesnt work out for them, they need to work on it or realize its an issue for them in a partnership and talk to you that they need something different.
Yes there is an issue, but that issue is something else than you!
Enough that my girlfriend is threatening to leave me

Thank you, I’m glad you have a system that works for you.
Although good news, she just texted me and said “It’s fine, do what you want.” so, crisis averted!
You make me realize what good partners i have…

Also happy cake day.
