Just gonna start by saying I’m 28 autistic and adhd, just out of divorce almost exactly a year ago with someone I was with for 8 years. She cheated on me with one of my best friends and it broke me, I’ve been working towards putting myself back together but my self confidence in sex has always been very low. She was the first person who I felt like cared about me and wanted me the same way I wanted her. At several points over the years I made comments and brought up to her how I felt it was very one sided who initiated sex, I asked her at one time if she could be the one to start it next time, we were long distance and it was at the end of a visit between us. Few months passed and we met up again, only nothing happened, not even an attempt was made. I talked about it a few more times with her and eventually it led to me asking why she can’t and all she could say is I can’t. It took all the wind out of my sails, I lost any positivity she brought in that area, it felt like my confidence shrinked and died then. Now I sit a year removed from it all and I can’t get myself to feel better or improve in that area, it really feels like it’s holding me back from progressing myself. Idk how to fix it, any help is appreciated submitted by /u/OrangesharkTheIV
