Aspies In A Relationship With An NT

Post Reply New Topic

This is no way for a wife to treat a husband. Does she use your AS as an excuse to justify her cheating on you and belittling you? Although, you say she won't acknowledge the AS, I wonder if she feels she can "use" it this way.

If not for your kids, I would say that splitting up is a smart option.

I have told her things need to change and she needs to try to understand me, many times. All I ever get back is her asking me why I am being such a jerk. She doesn't cheat anymore, but she did it so much before and in such a rotten, spiteful way...
She has been a lot nicer since our last fight, so maybe something finally stuck. I don't know yet, but we'll see.

No, she doesn't use it as a justification for anything. She doesn't acknowledge that I have it. However, looking back, all of the things she has said that she doesn't like about me in the past are part of my A.S. So I think maybe she denies it because that would force her to accept that I will always be like this. I dunno.

This sounds like he's afraid to show you to his family... a lot of aspie guys (myself included) have this subconscious thought in the back of our minds that our parents won't approve of any girlfriend we bring over to them...

He backs off? I've tried explaining that I don't like to be touched, even by her, sometimes and she always takes it personally. Does holding you really help with being upset? When I am upset people just ignore me or get mad at me.

BAD!! ! I haven't heard from in a week and now I've tried to call, text and email... he's not answering or responding.... So now I'm just lost.... do I keep trying to contact him or give up... I've wracked my mind the last few times we've talked and been together he's given me no reason to think or feel like he wouldn't want to talk to me or be with me... in fact or last conversation he said he couldn't wait to see me again... yet he won't answer to phone or email... I mean other then camping on his front porch which I think might be a little insane and scarey I don't know what else to do. I really wonder if he is into me or not... don't know. he says he is... but being ingored makes me feel otherwise.

I'm glad things are better for you....! !![/quote]

Hmm... I've never done anything like that before. Granted, I've got very little relationship experience, but I never disappeared for a week or more. I have done that with friends, though...to the point that they almost filed a missing person report. That's probably part of the reason I don't have friends anymore...

That's a trend I'm seeing here. It's still happening to me, Aspie is gone 5 weeks now. *grumble*

You might think things are better than they were but trust me, they are not. If she calls you a jerk, that's not a good thing.

Have you been officially diagnosed? If not, maybe you need to do that so you can show her the paper with it written on there. You say she doesn't cheat anymore but I have doubts. If someone does that, they don't just stop, they just haven't found the next person yet or you don't know it's going on. What's happening is you have given her total control over you. She can do whatever she likes and knows that you won't leave her or get mad at her. That is not a good place to be. You will never be happy if you continue like this. Find a counselor that you can talk to.

You NTs are so strange. ^^
But this might explain a little to all of you: stress behaviour.
