Why do I feel like a failure after a breakup?

[Anonymous]

It’s a well known fact that many autistic guys don’t get many shots in the dating field and with this failing maybe this was my only chance

Admittedly, breakups suck. Dealing with them is just a huge emotional roller coaster, feeling fine one day and feeling awful the next, but you need to understand that this person was probably not the one for you, and if they were you guys will find your way back to each other.

You should feel sad though, feel your emotions, cry, do what you need to because feelings these emotions is okay, but understand you're not a failure and you will find love and happiness and as awful as this might feel for how ever long you may feel it, you'll be okay.

I actually dated a guy with autism. he was the sweetest, we just didn't work out. he's in an awesome relationship right now and doesn't regret anything. he took the breakup really really hard, but he's doing very well. you got this!

Well if doesn’t look good this is my first relationship and I’m 31

that's ok! there's still plenty of time to find the right person for you. the guy I dated's dad also has autism and didn't get married until 54. don't doubt yourself and I'm sure you'll do just fine :)

Don't let those thoughts lead you down the rabbit hole. Is a breakup a failure I wouldn't say more like it didn't work so move on.

Don't let yourself down because something didn't go according to what you expected. Life is like that always with everything so it's a completely normal thing.
