As the neurotypical partners in our relationships, we often felt like we had to make SO many concessions with our partners.  Whenever they were on the verge of a shutdown or a meltdown, or actively in one of those phases, we found ourselves repeatedly making changes in ourselves and our relationships to reduce our partners anxiety, anger or stress.  While we both wanted to be supportive of our partners, we have also realized that we repeatedly compromised parts of ourselves, and that this began to have a negative impact on our emotional well-being.  We also learned that we stepped in to "rescue" our exes, when we probably should have stepped away or created healthy boundaries that could have helped empower our exes.  Two of the important lessons we learned on this journey were: 1) not to take things personal;  and 2) to make sure not to morph into someone we no longer recognize, just so that we can stay in our neurodiverse love relationship.
