To be honest, you got me so bitter
I resent you for falling in love with me so quickly. It feels like you leapt ahead the moment you decided that you wanted me, leaving me to navigate "us" alone.
You took one look at my high masking nature and you saw my confidence and how I made you feel and you made the decision to put such a burden on me. I made so many accommodations for you. I let you lead the relationship when you told me you just wanted to "feel it out." I suffered in silence as you made quiet judgments of my character and kept me out of the talks you have with yourself about me.
You kept misconstruing my words and twisting them to fit the tone you wanted to project and I always felt like I never spoke your language. I told you I was asexual and you kept leading me to bed like I didn't just want to sit with you on the couch and talk about my feelings.
And finally, when my infatuation matured into love, you went to the back foot immediately. I told you I was madly in love with you and that I wanted to make you mine, and you still called it surprising and out of nowhere when I followed through. You mishandled my feelings when I asked for a specific time frame to talk and you blew me off. That's not placing boundaries, that's disregarding my feelings.
Finally after days of poking, you ask me how bad it was when I wasn't talking to you and then YOU BREAK UP WITH ME. FOR A SHITTY REASON. THEN TELL ME THAT YOU LOVED ME, BUT COULDN'T STAND TO SEE ME IN PERSON, AND THEN YOU TELL ME THINGS CAN CHANGE IF I GET A -CAR-?
I can handle a bad break up. I can forgive that. Your reasoning for the breakup was unfair. The framing in the conversation was cruel. The reasoning for what you wanted out of me to fix the situation made me so fucking angry. Then you didn't apologize and you probably think you were just a little messy in applying boundaries, but you don't understand how to date and communicate with an autistic person and the damage you did with how you mishandled me has me feeling so fucking bitter and hurt. You then called it a personality issue as to why you fell out of love.
You fell for my masking, and then dumped me for my burnout (that you contributed to the most) and fell out of love because of how I acted in response.
Even after everything, I apologized for my part and forgave you for the breakup, but there's still so much for you to answer for surrounding it. And you never really will.
You told me that you still "really like me" (I don't know what that means) and I realized so quickly that you don't actually like me as a person because you never took the effort to actually get to know me as a person, and that's got me feeling like a fan and not a friend.
If you see this, no you didn't. This blog is for me screaming into the void and has been such for a decade and a half.
