Fiancé Discussed Academics With Childhood Friend at Wedding, I'm Done

My best friend and my boyfriend were both Asperger's cases, high-IQ geniuses.

And I was the genius's tagalong.

At seven, they debated high school textbooks while I packed their backpacks.

At seventeen, they got early admission to the country's top university and casually picked me a second-rate school next door.

At twenty-five, they finished their doctorates and became the twin stars of the elite research institute, and I was the receptionist.

We shared an apartment, where I handled the meals and the cleaning and never once managed to break into their conversations.
