From the beginning, my ex avoided video calls, always claiming her hair was a mess. Eventually, she told me she was autistic. Our conversations were mostly one-sided, and she frequently canceled our plans — like the time she said she had injured her leg.

She once mentioned her ex had replaced her with another guy and accused me of changing the way I treated her after I found out about her autism. When I got mugged and nearly lost her contact, I noticed she didn’t seem to care and would only reply if I messaged her first.

She would often talk about her cats and got upset when a cousin brought up that she used to go drinking with her ex. When I invited her to watch a movie, she initially declined, saying she was too shy, but later agreed. We kissed and spent the afternoon together, but soon after, she started acting distant, kept her phone hidden, and only gave me her Instagram after we had broken up.

One time, her sister dropped her off at my place, and when I commented that she wasn’t going out with me because she was “being complicated,” she got really angry. On another occasion, I criticized a game we were playing and she immediately stopped playing. Even after sweet moments, like when she gave me chocolate, she would soon bring up the idea of breaking up.

She invited me to a party, later said she wasn’t going anymore, but changed her mind again. I asked if I could come earlier, but she insisted I should only arrive at 6 PM. I went earlier anyway, and her sister saw me and invited me upstairs. At the party, she introduced me as her boyfriend, but later made a joke: “Let’s download an app to help you find a hot girl.”

After an argument, I ended the relationship, she cried and blocked me. Later on, she texted me saying she missed me. We started talking again until I found her profile on a dating app. When I confronted her, she claimed she was searching for a friend’s ex.

Even after that, I told her I loved her. She invited me to her mother’s birthday, but I didn’t go. Her mom later called me, asked if I loved her daughter, and even invited me for coffee. Later, my ex told me her father was upset with me. I felt bad, vented about it online, and she saw the post. She accused me of lying and using her, said the only reason she acted the way she did was because she was autistic and felt insecure, that she had prayed for me every day, and then blocked me for good....
