After reading your OP, and your posts in this thread, I'm not going to condemn you, or pat you on the back either. It's your life, and your son, do what you will. My agreement or disagreement isn't going to change your mind, or your heart.
But I will say, if you hate relationships, stop having them. Get rid of this bozo, and his guilt trip, and move on. If he knew how you were beforehand, then he has no room to complain. Did he think he was going to change you? Have friendships, and leave it at that.
I wish you the best Sarra, but I have a strong gut feeling you are in for a big surprise down the road a little.

Your title says you hate relationships with a passion. If what you say is true, perhaps you should not have any interpersonal relationships. With your disposition, it is very unlikely to satisfy either you or the person you are in a relationship with.
But somehow, I know that despite your self-professed passionate "hatred" for relationships, you will embark upon them with fully-engaged dysfunction for the extent of your longevity.

Agree full heartedly. If I can find a local Ace like myself, it'd be awesome. Like I told Des, it's VERY VERY difficult for a sexual person to make things work with an asexual spectrum person.

"I have a strong gut feeling...." What do you mean? Good or bad? I'm scared now.

You misunderstand me. If you truly hate relationships with a passion, you do not belong in ANY relationship, even with someone similar to yourself. Your desire to find a "local Ace" is more of the same, and will result in more emotional destruction until the underlying issues are faced and remedied in some way.
It is unlikely you will find any type of mutually gratifying interpersonal relationship (even an asexual one) until you confront some of your problems. We will leave "problems" as a nebulous term.
By the way, I am not saying this to criticize. We all have problems. I wish you the best of luck!

Obviously, you don't hate relationships, or else, you wouldn't have written this thread or even got into a relationship with your other. Like you said, you just don't know how to be a girlfriend, and he doesn't know how it is being in a relationship with a person as unique as you. Of course it's going to be bumpy, although he had an inkling of how bumpy the road will be, when the bump actually rocks you off your seat, it's a completely different story...
Maybe, he just needs to see and know that you actually care about him? Maybe he needs more of an emotional connection?
The question is, did you ever ask him? Sometimes we can learn a lot by simply asking a question.
Also thought I should share this phrase that another ATS member shared on these forums, and it goes something around the lines of this this:
"Relationships aren't 50/50. They are 100/100."
Find out what's going on in that head of his and tell him whats going in yours.
I'll try to have another talk with him. Thank you. I want to show him more that I do care for him and want him happy etc. Now that I know what a true hug entails, I'll start giving those. Hopefully that will help a lot.

i think the reason you are the way you are both sexually and emotionally is because it has something to do with self esteem issues.
hear me out.
what is wrong about consensual sex? technically you aren't being used if you agree to it...your insecurities probably stem from the way you view yourself and you haven't met someone who has told you how beautiful and interesting you are, so instead of putting any effort into any real relationships you simply go in with a "meh" attitude and in return you get a "meh" result from the opposite sex.
im sure you would make one hell of a wife, you seem like the kind of person that someone could sit and talk about random things for hours without getting bored, once you meet someone who can match you, at that point the sex is just a "bonus".
what a waste

Another advice would be not to overthink or plan way too ahead. I know how you females think and you gals like to plan everything out before coming to a conclusion or sometimes beat a horse dead when something is bothering you. Sometimes, words aren't necessary and a real hug in this instance would show him a lot.
Again, this is all for you to find out on your journey. The advice is solely from my eyes. After hearing the many opinions of others, you will know what to do.edit on 13-1-2013 by DelayedChristmas because: (no reason given)
