    Those attributes are an important part of what I like about her! Very direct, very plain to a fault. She has never and probably will never have an interest in playing interpersonal games. Zero drama. Loyal, because she doesn’t like change. She’s obsessive in her interests meaning we both easily get sufficient time to be our own person.

    Sure, she’s exceptionally sensitive about certain textures and sounds, but I understand because I’m the same way. Meeting her was like living a life where everyone speaks this language that I just wasn’t born with, and finding someone else who is just as confused as I am was really validating.

    So yes, I suggested that we marry, and she says yes you will suffice… which is perhaps the highest compliment she has ever paid me.

        Haha, well, I told my family that a person has to get to know her. She seems bitter at first but that’s just how she is. Besides, they don’t have to live with her. I do.

        Not using her outward appearance, countenance, or facial expressions as indicative of her true feelings is part of the package. It takes getting used to, and it’s not right for everyone.

        “Sufficient” is her elation.

          she says yes you will suffice…

          FWIW that totally made sense to me. When I read that, I caught my breath or my heart skipped a beat or something.

            It sounds like the important missing context is that no one else had ever been sufficient before
