Hi, so I've been non-monog/poly pretty much since a teenager and I'm in my late 30s now. Over time I've come to learn that I am on the autism spectrum and have ADHD, I also have some mental health stuff like depression, anxiety, excoriation disorder, yada yada. I think this may play a part in how I feel in my relationships/experience NRE.

I've always been really confused about NRE, like I hear it described as a energy boost basically in the beginning of the relationship, but I don't experience that. NRE essentially never wears off for me, no matter how long the relationship is. I also happen to fall in love very easily, like literally all anyone has to do to get me to fall in love with them is hang around me and do something I really like, like listen to the same music as I listen to, or treat another person with dignity, or maybe tell a really good joke. I also fall out of love as quickly as I fall in love, and so like the magical warm fuzzies are there pretty much the entire relationship until it ends.

So like am I just weird? Or am I getting the definition of NRE wrong? Does anyone else experience relationships like this? I am confuzzled.
