The End of my Marriage to a Neurotypical

Post Reply New Topic

Our office is open....but only essential employees report.

Only stores selling essentials still open.

We’re in a rather dire situation......especially for at-risk people.

Bingo. I'm glad now, glad I'm alone, every day I get stronger. The first few days were rock bottom, I just about felt like the sky was falling. Now I'm like, damn, this is nice! No griping, complaining, no one controlling me, telling me all my bad points. The truth is people like or accept me in general. Does that make me "not as Aspy?" I don't know. But he was always super-critical it seemed to me. When someone is cheating, I think they get super-critical of the one they're cheating on, in order to justify their misdeed in their own mind. He certainly hit the snooze button on his Conscience.

Based on descriptions I've read, I think I'm ASD, and always have felt different, but it's hard to really know. If someone on the forum calls B.S. on me and tells me I'm not at all Aspy, I will be like, O.K., thanks for the input.

I know that the differences between my husband and me were like night and day in regard to social activities. He always wanted to be around lots of people. I could deal, but found that taxing. It didn't help they were people that were his friends, not mine. He always disliked the idea of inviting over anyone I liked, on the few occasions I asked.

Same here dude.
I'm an essential employee b/c I can fix computer stuff. I don't mind. It is nice to feel needed.

At least now you know you are essential-that is a good feeling. We are going to that here tomorrow or the next day.
