Will in Seattle will take them.

I have the same issues your boyfriend has. It's not something I can voluntarily alter. Some of us are just kind of uncomfortable in social situations. If this is something that really bothers you, then you should find someone else...but giving up caring and affectionate for someone who's hail-fellow-well-met may not be that great a trade.

Can he converse fairly easily with you one-on-one? Then try (gently!) repeating people's remarks to him and having him respond to you if that works better for him. That keeps him involved in the conversation without exceeding his comfort level.

And tell your friends it has nothing to do with them, and that he's not angry or a jerk, he's just not a tremendously social person.

(I HATE making eye contact with people I don't know well, or with people I do know well and don't like.)

There's a lot of people who'd as soon not be subjected to ANY kind of smoke indoors - cigarette, woodsmoke, potsmoke, whatever. Why do you need to smoke inside? Go out to the alley or go out to your car, or have your cookies beforehand. Why inflict it on those who aren't into it?

Pee. I hate bladder infections.

Yes, and conversely, if you have a cold sore, you can give genital herpes to anyone you give head to. Or pass cold sores on to anyone you kiss. Herpes is a promiscuous virus - it's happy to infect pretty much any mucous membrane it can. It can infect the eyes and cause blindness, too.

Not everyone can tell when they're having an outbreak of genital herpes, but for most people, there's a tingling or itchiness that signals it, much the same as with cold sores on the lips. Unfortunately, for some sufferers, the sores are occurring in areas not oversupplied with nerves, and thus go unnoticed. It's strongly suggested that anyone who definitely suffers from periodic herpes outbreaks take the medication to suppress them and avoid inadvertently passing the virus on to others.

People who are autistic, or borderline autistic (Asperger's Syndrome) have a lot of problem maintaining eye contact. I'm one of them. I'm very uncomfortable with people who keep trying to force it on me. It doesn't mean I don't like you, or don't want to look at you, it's just very very unnatural and uncomfortable for me.

Cleaning blood off the tops of your feet, and then going back and cleaning up all the drips in the hall from the bedroom to the bathroom when your tampon is oversaturated. That's always fun. Trying to discourage the dog from eating your used sanitary napkins and tampons. The joy of 2-in-the-morning cramps that make you feel like the Alien is chewing its way out.

You're not privy to the ins and outs of their marital agreements and discords. Let it go. If you tell her, you run the risk of getting involved in someone else's private life drama, which is my idea of hell. And done anonymously - well, that's just kind of icky and weirdly stalkerish, too.

I would, however, tell the guy not to contact you again, since you do not want to be part of his dramas.
