I lost my job and went through this,during video calls, she avoided showing her face, claiming her hair was messy, and later revealed she had autism. Our conversations were one-sided; we planned to meet at the park, but she canceled, saying she’d hurt her leg. She mentioned that I treated her differently after learning about her autism and shared how past boyfriends had abandoned her. When I was robbed and nearly lost her contact, she was indifferent, stating she’d only stay in touch if I initiated it. She often talked about her cats and autistic nephews and got upset when her cousin mentioned her drinking with an ex.

I insisted we go to the movies since she complained we never went out. She hesitated out of embarrassment but agreed. At the cinema, we kissed during the film and spent the afternoon like a couple, but she hid her phone and only shared her Instagram after we broke up. Another time, we went to the mall, where she gave me chocolate, and we ended up at a motel. She refused to turn on the lights, became reactive, and abruptly changed moods. During dates, she avoided introducing me to her family.

During an argument, I criticized her favorite game, and she stopped playing. She brought me chocolate but soon suggested breaking up. She invited me to a party, then wavered, prompting me to ask if she didn’t want me there. I arrived early, her sister saw me, and we went up together. At the party, she introduced me as her boyfriend but suggested we "download an app to find a hottie" for me. We went to her place, where she wanted me to stay, but I left.

After repeated tensions, I ended things. She cried, blocked me, accused me of "sending her to mental health services (CAPS)" and ruining her happiness. Days later, she said she missed me, and we reconnected. I found her on a dating app; she claimed she was searching for her friend’s ex. I confessed my love, and she invited me to meet her somewhere, but I didn’t go. Her mom called, questioning my feelings and inviting me for coffee.

We talked again, but she said her dad was angry with me. I vented online, she saw it, accused me of manipulation, blamed her autism for her insecurities, said she prayed for me daily, then blocked me again and vanished completely.
